  • Saudi Arabia Reference Projects for Oil & Gas Applications
    NEWSLETTER JULY 2012 Saudi Arabia: Remarkable reference projects for oil and gas applications! Since 2010, Ceramic Polymer’s high-performance coating is approved for ”Saudi-Aramco-Standards”! More than 20% of the global crude oil is located under Saudi sand. The state-owned enterprise ”Saudi Aramco” is the biggest oil production company worldwide. Beside further 100 oil and gas fields, ”Saudi Aramco” owns with the ”Ghawar oil field” the largest oil reservoir and holds therefore the largest proven oil reserves of 260 billion barrels. By several subsidiary companies, amongst others the major tanker fleet and various joint ventures in oil and gas industry, ”Saudi Aramco” is the most profitable and valuable corporate group at present times. Coating products have to provide outstanding properties to meet the APCS-Criteria (Aramco Protective Coating System) and get accepted for ”Saudi Aramco” application. Our product CK-54 SF-APCS-2i was tested extensively by research laboratories of ”Saudi Aramco” and was approved for application in accordance with their demanding requirements of the standards APCS-2i, APCS-117 and APCS -28. Specific aspects for the achieved approval were e. g. the excellent chemical resistance at high operating temperatures up to 150°C and the extremely pressure resistance, which was proven by autoclave-tests with explosive decom- Condensate stripper pressions.

Efforts from two Saudi Universities are still continuing to study the sea level variation. The previous report, which was submitted in 2011, gave a history about the tide gauge deployments in the Kingdom. The report gave a general outline on the local and regional development efforts to measure water levels. The report has also mentioned the regional organizations works on focusing over the conservation and management of the coastal and marine resources of the Arabian (Persian) Gulf and the Red Sea, with little or no interest for monitoring sea level. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS I.

Calling all Aramcons and friends—to Jabal Las Vegas 2008, the 26th biennial Annuitants Reunion, Sept. 29-Oct. 1. Reuinon hosts Albert and Karen Fallon have provided a package of reunion registration and hotel reservation information, along with an outline of activities, events and meals, in the reunion insert in this issue of Al-Ayyam Al-Jamilah. Next year’s get-together is special because it coincides with the 75th anniversary of the signing of the Concession Agreement that launched the oil enterprise that is today’s Saudi Aramco, an event that will be celebrated by the company throughout the year. The reunion is being held at the luxury Paris Hotel on the famed Las Vegas Strip, with all facilities close by. Visit www.parislv.com for detailed information. The Fallons urge guests to register by June 1, 2008, but note that hotel reservations should be made as soon as possible to take advantage of special prices available now. The last time the Annuitants Reunion was held in Las Vegas, in 1990, it drew a record 1,272 guests. The Fal- lons hope that Jabal Las Vegas 2008 will set a new at- tendance mark.
