Saudi Aramco

Powering possibilities

At Saudi Aramco we’re leading the drive to solve some of the issues that matter most to the global energy industry. We consider it our responsibility – to the Kingdom and the world.

Transforming for the Future

By 2020, Saudi Aramco will have evolved from being the leading oil and gas company that it is today, into a fully integrated, truly global energy and chemicals enterprise with extensive operations across the globe.

What we aim to be tomorrow will facilitate a diversified and sustainable expansion of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s economy and enable a globally competitive and vibrant Saudi energy sector.

Our vision for the future is best described through the company’s 2020 Strategic Intent:

• Shaping our business portfolio through establishing an integrated value chain approach in our crude oil mix, further develop the Kingdom’s unconventional gas resources and become a leading global chemicals and refining company.
• Supporting the Kingdom in building a vibrant energy industry by promoting an energy efficient economy, developing alternative energy options, and building a technology portfolio.
• Delivering an agile, flexible, and efficient organization to achieve operational excellence and world-class reliability and safety performance through improved operational efficiency, agile decision-making and budgeting activities, insightful performance measurements, and business process improvement.
• Building capacity, knowledge, and skills to improve our processes and systems of leadership selection and development, performance evaluation, innovation, and research and development. We will take the lead in developing a knowledge-based economy in Saudi Arabia.

In short, we aim to unlock the potential of our people and our enterprise to transform from a company of which the Kingdom is proud into a company of which the world is proud.
