Throughout its history, Saudi Aramco has engaged in massive projects to coax hydrocarbon reserves from thousands of feet below desert sands or sea beds and to get these products to consumers around the globe. With the continuing advancement of oil exploration technologies we are able to grow reserves in known fields by delineating additional oil and gas pockets as well as exploring new fields. One of the most important tools in the petroleum engineering tool box is reservoir stimulation, which is used to calculate the number of wells to be drilled to develop a field, select well locations, estimate facility requirements and develop and optimize reservoir management strategies. Research in subsurface upstream activities is conducted by the Advanced Research Center of the Company’s Exploration and Petroleum Engineering Center (EXPEX ARC). In the field of exploration technology, the strategic goals are to increase reserves and improve recovery rates. At EXPEX ARC, petroleum engineers and geoscientists work closely together to build highly sophisticated 3-D reservoir simulation computer programs. Within the Event Solution Center multi-disciplinary teams focus on the solution of reservoir production issues. Their work has significantly reduced completion time for studies, compressed major decision cycles and reduced uncertainty.

Meeting demand requires extensive, integrated manufacturing and transportation systems. A Kingdom-wide network of refining, supply, and distribution facilities, staffed by highly trained personnel, maintains this continual supply of refined products.

Saudi Aramco's four domestic refineries at Riyadh, Ras Tanura, Yanbu’ and Jiddah have a combined capacity of nearly 1 million barrels per day. Adding the Company's two domestic joint-venture refineries, with ExxonMobil in Yanbu’ (SAMREF) and with Shell in Jubail (SASREF), and the Company's share of refining capacity at Petro Rabigh, brings in-Kingdom refining capacity to almost 1.5 million barrels per day.

• The most complex Saudi Aramco refinery is on the Arabian Gulf at Ras Tanura with a crude distillation capacity of 550,000 barrels per day. Most of Ras Tanura’s production is for domestic use and transferred to the Dhahran bulk plant, while some products are exported.
• Based on the Red Sea, the Yanbu’ Refinery is a hydro skimming facility with a design capacity of 230,000 barrels per day.
• The Jiddah refinery has a capacity of 80,000 barrels per day.
• Based in the Central Region of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh Refinery has a capacity of 120,000 barrels per day. This refinery is supplied with crude oil from the East-West pipeline.

Saudi Aramco is a worldwide pace-setter in acquiring and implementing state-of-the-art technology in the field of refining and distribution. Our strategy of integrating new technologies is not only benefiting operations and customer service, but also has a positive impact on the environment, energy consumption and the community.

In-house laboratories are developing innovative techniques to support refining and distribution operations . Chromatography techniques, developed by the Ras Tanura Laboratory, support terminal operations exports and rapidly identify the source of crude oil and other petroleum fractions.

Saudi Aramco’s broad network of bulk plants and air-fueling units is strategically located throughout the Kingdom and supplies thousands of bulk customers with products ranging from gasoline and jet fuel to fuel oil and liquefied petroleum gas. Added to this are gigantic tank farms that enable terminal exports of crude, natural gas liquids and refined products through the Arabian Gulf and the Red Sea.

Saudi Aramco’s enormous storage tank farms and shipping terminals supply crude oil, NGL and refined products to customers around the globe. Every year, thousands of tankers call at company terminals in Ras Tanura and Ju’aymah on the Arabian Gulf and at Yanbu’, Jiddah and Rabigh on the Red Sea.

Ras Tanura’s offshore Sea Island Terminal is a complex of man-made islands, each featuring a loading station for crude oil, a bunker cargo and two berths. Six supertankers of up to 500,000 deadweight tons can load simultaneously. Highly trained harbor pilots are essential to the movement of tankers at all terminals. With the assistance of powerful tug boats and marine vessels, pilots direct and control the movement of tankers — from designated anchorage locations to assigned terminal berths.

Saudi Aramco is committed to the prevention of harmful hydrocarbon release in the air, land or waters of Saudi Arabia. Saudi Aramco takes extensive preventive measures to minimize the risk of oil spills from the marine terminals and the tankers calling at them. Of primary concern is the protection of human life, public health and safety, protecting facilities, minimizing the disruption of safe operations at export terminals and critical production facilities and preserving the marine environment.

Vela International Marine Limited, Saudi Aramco’s wholly owned shipping subsidiary, is a leader in the maritime transportation industry and renowned for its safety and operational efficiency. Vela joined with the International Marine Organization (IMO) to support the “Global Industry Alliance”, a group dedicated to protecting marine environments and minimizing the marine industry’s environmental footprint.

As the No. 1 leader in the petroleum industry, Saudi Aramco manages the largest proven reserves of conventional crude oil – 260 billion barrels – and manages the fourth-largest gas reserves in the world – 263 trillion cubic feet. Being entrusted with these resources carries responsibility and a firm belief that a sustainable energy future requires investment in technology, teamwork and talented people. As our exploration activities expand, so too does our seismic processing environment. Saudi Aramco has its own state-of-the-art command and control drilling operation center. Latest technological advances allow real time data to be transmitted from any Saudi Aramco rig site. This knowledge allows our geoscientists to make decisions and conduct planning regarding exploration and development that will help the Company to achieve its challenging objectives.

At Saudi Aramco, two organizations are devoted to original research, introducing new technologies and providing specialized technical services. Research in surface upstream and downstream operations is undertaken by the Research and Development Center. Research in subsurface upstream activities is conducted by the Advanced Research Center of the Company’s Exploration and Petroleum Engineering Center (EXPEX ARC.)

With completion of the new, state-of-the-art Research and Development Center, Saudi Aramco has made a strong commitment to expand applied research and development by exploring innovative techniques and acquiring advanced technologies.

The Center has adopted a portfolio approach in devising programs, targeting near-, medium- and long-term market needs. The first priority is the desulfurization of crude oil. In the medium-term, the Company is investigating clean fuels. The third focus is carbon utilization — the concept that carbon should be removed for its commercial properties.

In addition, the Center is responsible for the testing and deployment of cutting-edge technologies that enhance operational reliability, efficiency and safety. Company scientists in the Research and Development Center research activities to investigate and develop industrial processes and applications for better carbon utilization, including the development of low-cost technologies for CO2 capture from fixed and mobile sources, and the methods to convert CO2 into valuable chemical intermediates for commercial use.

One of Saudi Aramco's main priorities is to promote and continuously improve health and safety measurements to enhance a culture of safety throughout the whole company. Saudi Aramco’s Loss Prevention Department is a service-oriented organization responsible for developing and monitoring company policies, standards and procedures that aim to prevent injuries and incidents and minimize losses.

The Department develops programs, standards and instructions and is also responsible for risk assessments , safety training and the production of safety educational materials and publications. When incidents do occur, our health and safety advisors investigate the root cause of those incidents and develop measures to avoid future losses. Regular inspections and safety reviews conducted by the Loss Prevention Department assure corporate safety throughout the Company.
