Saudi Aramco: The Power to Provide
History
The Saudi Aramco story began in May 1933, with the signing of a concession agreement between the government of Saudi Arabia and Standard Oil Company of California, predecessor of Chevron. Five years later, oil in commercial quantities was found in the Kingdom’s Eastern Province, and the first tanker load of petroleum left the nation’s shores the following year. The company’s ownership quickly expanded to include Texaco, Exxon and Mobil, and in the ensuing decades, the Arabian American Oil Company — or Aramco — became an upstream production powerhouse.
Between 1973 and 1980, the Saudi government acquired an economic interest in Aramco’s operations in stages through negotiations. In 1980 essentially all of Aramco’s assets were transferred to the Saudi Government. From that time until 1988, Aramco operated the assets on behalf and for the benefit of the Government. In November 1988, the Saudi Arabian Oil Company, or Saudi Aramco, was created by Royal Decree.
Saudi Aramco Today
Saudi Aramco has been a major contributor to meeting the world’s energy needs for nearly seven decades. Responsible for roughly 260 billion barrels of proven oil reserves, Saudi Aramco is the largest producer and exporter of crude oil, and a major player in refining and natural gas. The company stands committed to providing a reliable supply of petroleum and petroleum products to communities and consumers around the globe. Throughout its history, Saudi Aramco has never failed to meet a delivery commitment to a customer due to operational reasons. The company’s ability to bring its excess capacity on-stream has been repeatedly proven in recent years in response to market needs.
Saudi Aramco Tomorrow
Saudi Aramco pursues a pair of intertwined objectives: to be the world’s most reliable supplier of energy and continue to strengthen and diversify the local economy. In pursuit of these objectives, Saudi Aramco has embarked on a series of massive projects of breathtaking scope. The array of projects ranges from expanding crude oil and natural gas production capacity to new refining, petrochemical and marketing ventures.
Domestically, Saudi Aramco and Sumitomo Chemical Co. of Japan have embarked on a joint venture, PETRORabigh, to transform the company’s Rabigh Refinery into a fully integrated refining and petrochemical complex. The company is also moving forward with plans to develop a joint venture petrochemical complex integrated with its Ras Tanura Refinery.
Similar plans for the company’s Yanbu’ Refinery and the Saudi Aramco Mobil Refinery (SAMREF), also in Yanbu’, are under consideration. The company has also entered two memoranda of understanding with Total and ConocoPhillips for the construction of two grass-roots export refineries, in Jubail and Yanbu’, respectively.
To keep its pledge to maintain 1.5 to 2 million bpd of spare production capacity, Saudi Aramco is undertaking a series of “mega-projects” to expand its crude oil production capability.
The Abu Hadriyah, Fadhili and Khursaniyah fields are being developed, with production of 500,000 bpd of Arabian Light crude oil, plus more than 1 billion scfd of associated gas, forecasted to come online in December 2007.
Located deep in the Rub' al-Khali, or Empty Quarter, the Shaybah field has been delivering 500,000 bpd of Arab Extra Light crude oil since its start-up in1998. Plans call for increasing production capacity to 1 million bpd, with the first increment of 250,000 bpd under implementation and slated to come on-stream by the end of 2008.
Two other major field development projects on track to meet the maximum production capacity target are the Khurais and Nuayyim fields. The Khurais project, which will also include production from the Abu Jifan and Mazalij fields, is projected to produce 1.2 million bpd of Arab Light crude oil in 2009. The Nuayyim project, a central Arabian field, is slated to add 100,000 bpd of Arabian Super Light crude oil by 2008.
The Manifah field development project is another mammoth undertaking that has been initiated. This offshore field calls for production of 900,000 bpd of heavy crude to come on-stream in 2011.
In conjunction with the expansion of production facilities in the Southern Area, Qurayyah, the world's largest seawater treatment plant, is also being expanded. Capacity has been increased by 2.5 million bpd for a total capacity of 9 million bpd, matching the dual needs of maintaining reservoir pressure and conserving precious ground water. An additional expansion of 4.2 million bpd is planned in conjunction with the Khurais project and South Ghawar production.
These new production increments come on the heels of other major projects completed in recent years, including Shaybah (500,000 bpd) in 1998; Haradh I, II and III (900,000 bpd in total) 1996 – 2006; and Qatif (800,000 bpd) in 2005.
The Master Gas System, built and operated by Saudi Aramco and one of the largest integrated gas systems in the world, is also expanding. This system currently has the capacity to carry over 9 billion scfd of sales gas, 700,000 bpd of NGL and roughly 650 million scfd of ethane gas. Expansion plans to increase delivery capacity of all these products are being implemented.
An NGL recovery plant at Hawiyah, designed to process nearly 4 billion scfd of gas and to yield 310,000 bpd of NGL, is scheduled to be completed in 2008. The Hawiyah Gas Plant will also be expanded by 50 percent.
A new grass-roots gas plant, designed to process 300 million scfd of sour gas associated with the development of the Abu Hadriyah, Fadhili and Khursaniyah oil fields, is taking shape at Khursaniyah.
To accommodate the processing (fractionation) of higher levels of NGL received from both the Hawiyah NGL Recovery Plant and the Khursaniyah Gas Plant, the capacity of the Ju'aymah Gas Plant will be expanded 45 percent by 2008.
Operations
The foundation for the company’s success lies deep underground, with the Kingdom’s extensive oil and gas reserves. Saudi Aramco manages roughly 260 billion barrels of proven crude oil reserves, as well as the world’s fourth largest natural gas reserves, totaling some 239.5 trillion standard cubic feet. Given their immense size, prudent stewardship of these reserves is vital to the world’s energy future.
Saudi Aramco’s reservoir management practices are designed to maximize recovery from its fields, ensuring that petroleum will be in plentiful supply for many decades to come. The company operates an extensive system of crude oil producing and processing facilities, with some 10.8 million barrels per day (bpd) of production capacity.
Domestically, Saudi Aramco owns and operates, or is a partner in, seven refineries with total refining capacity of nearly 2 million bpd and maintains a Kingdom-wide refined product distribution system. The company also operates eight marine terminals on the Red Sea and Arabian Gulf coasts, exporting crude oil, products and natural gas liquids to overseas markets.
Vela International Marine, Ltd., the company's shipping subsidiary, is one of the world's largest supertanker fleets. Each year, its ships log around 1,000 voyages and transport roughly 2 million bpd of crude oil to customers in the United States and Europe. Vela's domestic fleet carries crude and other products between ports within the Kingdom.
Partnerships
Over the years, Saudi Aramco has developed mutually beneficial relationships with its domestic and international customers, suppliers and partners, helping to ensure the energy needs of consumers around the world are met reliably and responsibly. The company has marketing support affiliates in Asia and the Pacific, Europe and North America.
Saudi Aramco or its affiliates hold stakes in a number of refining and marketing enterprises around the globe, including the Motiva joint venture with Shell in the United States, S-Oil in Korea, Petron in the Philippines, and most recently, Showa Shell, in Japan.
The Asian region remains a cornerstone of the company’s international business, and in 2005, Saudi Arabia became the number one supplier of crude oil to China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan.
Saudi Aramco, Fujian Petrochemical Company Limited (FPCL) of China and ExxonMobil are jointly developing a project to triple the refining capacity of FPCL’s existing Fujian refinery, as well as to add major petrochemical manufacturing units.
In the Kingdom, Saudi Aramco partners with Shell in the Saudi Aramco Shell Refinery Company (SASREF) in Jubail, and with ExxonMobil in the Saudi Aramco Mobil Refinery Company (SAMREF) in Yanbu'.
Saudi Aramco has signed a series of upstream gas venture agreements with Shell, Total, Lukoil, Sinopec, Eni, and Repsol YPF, and exploration in the Rub’ al-Khali, or Empty Quarter, is ongoing.
Technology at Work
Vital to all these activities are the development and application of advanced technology. To explore for and manage its petroleum reserves, Saudi Aramco is well known to be the world’s premier user of sophisticated upstream technical tools, including its own POWERS reservoir simulator, which harnesses parallel processing technology to model the world’s largest oil fields, including Ghawar. The company’s seismic processing environment has been migrated to cost-effective Linux clusters with more than 600 terabytes of storage.
The company's crude oil, refined products, gas and NGL networks, terminals planning and scheduling, and electrical power distribution grid are all monitored in real time on the new video wall in the company's Operations Coordination Center (OCC). The display, at 10 ft (3 m) tall and more than 200 ft (61 m) wide, is the largest used in either the hydrocarbon or power industries.
In the Geosteering Operations Center (GOC), teams of geologists and petroleum and drilling engineers remotely control drilling activities in real time, around the clock, helping ensure that every well is optimally guided.
The wells themselves are among the most advanced in the industry. The company increasingly utilizes multi-lateral maximum reservoir contact (MRC) wells. "Smart Well" flow control systems are also becoming more common in company production operations.
Smart Well systems and down-hole sensors are part of a larger strategy to develop “Intelligent Fields,” an approach that combines real-time monitoring and timely reactions to changing well and reservoir conditions to optimize production and reservoir management. The company’s new Research & Development Center, a 33,000 square-meter facility, holds the promise of future breakthroughs in applied petroleum technology.
Our People
Despite its technological capabilities, people remain Saudi Aramco’s most important asset. Its roughly 52,000 employees represent around 50 countries and encompass a wide range of professional and technical disciplines. To ensure they have the skills and job knowledge they need, Saudi Aramco maintains one of the largest corporate training and career development programs on the planet.
Saudi Aramco is not only a leader in its industry, but also a leader in its community. The company conducts health, safety and environmental awareness programs, in addition to sponsoring volunteer efforts to assist those who have special needs. Young people are another focus for the company, which sends mobile libraries to rural schools, hosts student groups at its Saudi Aramco Exhibit, sponsors defensive driving lectures for high-school pupils, and for more than a quarter-century, has encouraged creativity through its Children’s Art Contest.
Environmental programs are also given high priority, from environmental impact studies to air, water and soil monitoring. Desert and beach clean-up efforts attract volunteers of all ages. Saudi Aramco understands that the true value of a company isn’t measured only at the bottom line, but also by its commitment to supporting local communities and their people.
A Global Enterprise
Since the creation of Saudi Aramco, the company has evolved from primarily an upstream oil and gas producer to a fully integrated, international petroleum enterprise. Today, Saudi Aramco ranks first among oil companies worldwide in terms of crude oil production and exports and natural gas liquids (NGL) exports, and is among the leading refiners and producers of natural gas.
Saudi Aramco has operations in exploration, production, refining, marketing and international shipping, and has launched joint ventures or acquired interests in refining and marketing companies on three continents. Coupled with its network of marketing support, support services and marine shipping subsidiaries, Saudi Aramco’s operations now truly span the globe.
