Sadara Prepares 1,000 School Bags Jubail Industrial City, September 1, 2018: On Saturday (September 1, 2018), more than 50 volunteers from Sadara Chemical Company completed the packing and preparation of more than 1,000 school bags with essential school supplies and distributed them to five charitable societies in four different governorates in the Eastern Province. The societies will in turn deliver the school bags to needy families, providing school essentials to them with the beginning of the new school year. This initiative supported students in elementary schools in Jubail Industrial City, Jubail Downtown, Ras Tanura, Umm Al-Sahek and Hafr Al-Batin. Each school bag contained 16 different school supply items, as well as some gifts for celebrating the Saudi National Day. Eng. Ayman Mufti, Director of Information Technology at Sadara and one of the volunteers, praised the performance of all volunteers in achieving this admirable goal: "This initiative represents our commitment to social responsibility and supporting our local communities. Volunteering is a key driver in building interest in social responsibility activities." -Ends- About Sadara: Sadara is a joint venture developed by the Saudi Arabian Oil Company (Saudi Aramco) and The Dow Chemical Company. Sadara is a multi-billion dollar world-scale chemical complex in Jubail Industrial City II in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province. Comprised of 26 world-scale manufacturing units, the Sadara chemical complex is the world’s largest to be built in a single phase and is the only chemical company in the Middle East to use refinery liquids, such as naphtha, as feedstock. By using best-in-class technologies to crack refinery liquid feedstock, Sadara will enable many industries that either currently do not exist in Saudi Arabia or only exist through imports of raw materials. The adjacent PlasChem Park, a unique collaboration between Sadara and the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu’, will create more value downstream, generating unprecedented investment, innovation, economic growth and thousands of jobs.

These relations evolved under conditions in which both countries understood and valued the need for cooperation, but also were aware of its limits and the dangers of too close a partnership. U.S. security dealings with Saudi Arabia are an extreme, perhaps unique, case of how security ties unfolded under conditions in which sensitivities to those ties were always a central —oftentimes dominating—consideration. This was especially true in the most delicate area of military assistance. Distinct patterns of behavior by the two countries emerged as a result, patterns that continue to this day. This dissertation examines the first twenty years of the U.S.-Saudi military assistance relationship. It seeks to identify the principal factors responsible for how and why the military assistance process evolved as it did, focusing on the objectives and constraints of both U.S.

An Alternative Pipeline Strategy in the Persian Gulf
An Alternative Pipeline Strategy in the Persian Gulf M. Webster Ewell, Jr. Center for Naval Analysis Dagobert Brito Department of Economics, Rice University And John Noer Center for Naval Analysis This research was sponsored by the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy at Rice University, the Center for International Political Economy, and the Office of the Secretary of Defense. The research and views expressed in this paper are those of he individual researchers, and do not necessarily represent the views of the Baker Institute or other sponsors of the research. Executive Summary This paper examines the idea of increasing the capacity of the trans-Saudi pipeline system by using second-generation drag reduction agent (DRA) technology, so that in the event of a Strait of Hormuz (SoH) closure1, most of the oil2, which currently flows through the Strait could be rerouted through the Red Sea. We find that it should be technologically feasible to upgrade the pipeline system to a capacity of 11 MBD for a cost of $600 million. This capacity assumes the use of both the IPSA and Petroline pipelines; we also present several lower capacity, lower cost options. The upgrades will take at least 18 months to install, so they cannot be implemented in response to a crisis. DRA technology thus represents an opportunity to buy strategic insurance at bargain rates. The pipeline upgrade has several important strategic benefits. It can enhance the Saudi reputation as a stable, reliable oil producer, because it will allow Saudi oil to reach world markets even during a SoH crisis.

Information About Dhahran and Al Khobar Introduction Dhahran Is a City in Eastern Saudi Arabia and Its Oil Capital
Information about Dhahran and Al Khobar Introduction Dhahran is a city in eastern Saudi Arabia and its oil capital. Dhahran lies about 14 kilometers south of Dammam which is the administrative capital of the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia and the Kingdom’s major commercial port along the Arabian Gulf. The King Fahad International Airport, nearly 40 kilometers outside Dammam is one of the main gateways to the Eastern Province. Ten kilometers to the east of Dhahran lies the commercially bustling city of Al Khobar, a favorite shopping destination for visitors to the area. Al Khobar is home to two large shopping malls (Al Rashid Mall and Dhahran Mall) and hundreds of shops, parks and restaurants. Dhahran sits inland from Dammam and Khobar, atop a broad and flat hill (elevation 146 feet). The hill is the surface expression of the Dammam Dome and is where the first oil explorers in Saudi Arabia struck commercial oil deposits in 1938. In the course of the discovery of oil, an “oil town” slowly took form near the apex of the dome. Today Dhahran includes the Saudi Aramco headquarters, facilities and company housing. Housing developments and suburbs have sprung up around the Saudi Aramco facilities mainly triggered by generous company home ownership programs for its Saudi Arab employees. Dhahran is also home of the King Fahad University of Petroleum and Minerals, the “MIT of Saudi Arabia”, a large US Consulate compound and a Royal Saudi Airbase. A second large university, King Faisal University, is situated along the coast between Dammam and Al Khobar. Just north of Dammam is the lush mega oasis of Al Qatif which is home to several cities, towns and villages.
