Oil will remain the largest single source of fuel, with demand projected to rise from the 2005 rate of 84 million barrels per day (bpd) to 116 million bpd in 2030. As an enterprise, we are committed to playing our part in meeting future demand growth and we’re backing that commitment by embarking on the largest capital program in our history. We currently have half a dozen major crude oil increments at various stages of development, with a total production 4 SAUDI ARAMCO capacity of some 3 million bpd, roughly a 20 percent increase over our current capability. Some of that capacity will offset natural decline, while the remainder will expand our maximum sustained production capability, which by the end of 2009 will reach 12 million bpd. Our slate of mega-projects also will enable us to maintain spare production capacity of 1.5 to 2 million bpd above forecast production, in keeping with the Kingdom's commitment to keep world markets stable. FACTS & FIGURES 2006 5 TAKING THE INITIATIVE The challenges present in the worldwide refining industry also have created a unique set of opportunities for companies willing to seize them. We are expanding our worldwide refining capacity through overseas joint and equity ventures. Domestically, we are preparing to build two new export-oriented refineries. In addition, we are proceeding with the construction of our joint-venture PetroRabigh integrated refining-petrochemical project. We also are currently negotiating with The Dow Chemical Company as a potential partner in a joint venture to construct, own and operate a world-scale chemicals and plastics production complex integrated with our Ras Tanura Refinery. When fully operational, the new petrochemical complex will be one of the largest plastics and chemicals production facilities in the world, well-situated to access most major world markets. The anticipated project start-up date is 2012. 6 SAUDI ARAMCO The PetroRabigh and Ras Tanura integrated refinery projects are the latest chapters in Saudi Aramco’s transformation from a production powerhouse to a fully integrated, international energy enterprise and further evidence of the Kingdom’s efforts to leverage its resources to strengthen and diversify its economy. For the 18th year in a row, Petroleum Intelligence Weekly ranked Saudi Aramco as the No. 1 oil company in the world. We like to think the honor is bestowed not only for our petroleum reserves and production capabilities, but also for our bold actions to meet the growing challenges facing our industry and our world. FACTS & FIGURES 2006 7 PROJECTS TIMELINE 2006 Haradh-III Increment START-UP DATE: January 2006 Haradh is located at the southern tip of Ghawar, the world's largest onshore oil field, and produces Arabian Light crude oil.

  • Process Technologies and Projects for Biolpg
    energies Review Process Technologies and Projects for BioLPG Eric Johnson Atlantic Consulting, 8136 Gattikon, Switzerland; [email protected]; Tel.: +41-44-772-1079 Received: 8 December 2018; Accepted: 9 January 2019; Published: 15 January 2019 Abstract: Liquified petroleum gas (LPG)—currently consumed at some 300 million tonnes per year—consists of propane, butane, or a mixture of the two. Most of the world’s LPG is fossil, but recently, BioLPG has been commercialized as well. This paper reviews all possible synthesis routes to BioLPG: conventional chemical processes, biological processes, advanced chemical processes, and other. Processes are described, and projects are documented as of early 2018. The paper was compiled through an extensive literature review and a series of interviews with participants and stakeholders. Only one process is already commercial: hydrotreatment of bio-oils. Another, fermentation of sugars, has reached demonstration scale. The process with the largest potential for volume is gaseous conversion and synthesis of two feedstocks, cellulosics or organic wastes. In most cases, BioLPG is produced as a byproduct, i.e., a minor output of a multi-product process. BioLPG’s proportion of output varies according to detailed process design: for example, the advanced chemical processes can produce BioLPG at anywhere from 0–10% of output. All these processes and projects will be of interest to researchers, developers and LPG producers/marketers. Keywords: Liquified petroleum gas (LPG); BioLPG; biofuels; process technologies; alternative fuels 1. Introduction Liquified petroleum gas (LPG) is a major fuel for heating and transport, with a current global market of around 300 million tonnes per year.

  • Expert Commentary GECF Member Countries Shifting Towards Less Carbon Intensity
    Expert Commentary GECF Member Countries shifting towards less carbon intensity Dr Hussein Moghaddam Senior Energy Forecast Analyst Energy Economics and Forecasting Department GECF Secretariat July 2021 GECF Member Countries shifting towards less carbon intensity Dr Hussein Moghaddam Senior Energy Forecast Analyst Energy Economics and Forecasting Department GECF Secretariat There is more than one way to achieve the Paris Agreement targets, and more than one way to achieve a low carbon future. Although it is projected that renewables and other unconventional sources of energy may gain a significant portion of the energy supply mix in the next 30 years, based on the GECF Global Gas Model’s (GGM) calculation, at the GECF we believe that some concerns may restrict the worldwide commitment to fully substituting fossil fuels, and in particular natural gas. The GGM shows that being committed to carbon- neutral targets does not sufficiently contribute to the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction, if not accompanied by feasible policies. Years ago, the need to discuss climate change would not be a given as it is today. Since global warming has become a major hazard for the future of the planet, energy transmission as a response to this concern is inevitable. To limit warming to 1.5°C by 2050-60, many countries agreed and pledged under the Paris Agreement to set up ambitious targets to reach net-zero emissions across their regions. According to Climate Action Tracker, 127 countries that produce around 63% of global emissions are now committing themselves to adopt net- zero targets [1]. Several explanations follow to elaborate on this point: First, the global energy demand may outweigh the energy supply from unconventional sources due to increasing consumption in energy-intensive sectors, such as power, transportation, and industry.

  • Foreign Investment in the Oil Sands and British Columbia Shale Gas
    Canadian Energy Research Institute Foreign Investment in the Oil Sands and British Columbia Shale Gas Jon Rozhon March 2012 Relevant • Independent • Objective Foreign Investment in the Oil Sands and British Columbia Shale Gas 1 Foreign Investment in the Oil Sands There has been a steady flow of foreign investment into the oil sands industry over the past decade in terms of merger and acquisition (M&A) activity. Out of a total CDN$61.5 billion in M&A’s, approximately half – or CDN$30.3 billion – involved foreign companies taking an ownership stake. These funds were invested in in situ projects, integrated projects, and land leases. As indicated in Figure 1, US and Chinese companies made the most concerted efforts to increase their profile in the oil sands, investing 2/3 of all foreign capital. The US and China both invested in a total of seven different projects. The French company, Total SA, has also spread its capital around several projects (four in total) while Royal Dutch Shell (UK), Statoil (Norway), and PTT (Thailand) each opted to take large positions in one project each.

Two lines are operational: the Riyadh to Dammam and the North-South railway lines. The new high-speed Haramain rail line which can accommodate speeds of up to 300 kilometers (km) per hour and covers 450 km was inaugurated recently, connecting Mecca, Jeddah, King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, King Abdullah Economic City, Rabigh and Madinah. This network will carry 60 million passengers a year with a fleet of 35 trains. The two other lines are in the planning stage. The existing North-South Railway project is one of the largest railway projects, covering more than 2,750 kilometers of track. It connects Riyadh and the northern border through the cities of Al-Qassim and Hail. The Riyadh to Dammam line was the first operational line: • The freight line opened in the 1950s, connecting King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam with Riyadh, through Al-Ahsa, Abqaiq, Al-Kharj, Haradh, and Al-Tawdhihiyah.
