PRODUCTION & REFINERIES
GAS PRODUCTION
FADHILI
MORE INFO
FADHILI
The cutting edge Fadhili Gas Plant (FGP) is emblematic of Saudi Aramco’s broad
impact on not only boosting gas supply to displace crude burning, but also
driving economic growth, developing the Saudi workforce, spearheading technology
deployment, and reducing CO2 emissions. FGP construction started in 2016 and was
completed and put fully onstream in 2020.
With a total processing capacity of 2.5 BSCFD, FGP is the first plant in the
region to have the capability of sweetening low BTU gas, then directly powering
an independent power plant, yet able to switch to regular sales gas as needed.
In addition, Fadhili is the first plant to treat nonassociated gas from both
onshore and offshore fields.
FGP is also the first SA Gas plant to deploy the Sulfur Recovery Unit Tail Gas
Treatment process to attain a sulfur recovery rate of 99.9%, helping to protect
air quality, and reducing SO2 emissions by more than 18,000 Metric Tons per year
as compared to the conventional Claus process.
The development of Fadhili added billions of dollars to the local economy
through IKTVA. 46% of the project’s materials and services were sourced and
manufactured in Saudi Arabia.
A unique feature of Fadhili is that its multiple downstream treated gas
pipelines enhanced the connectivity, reliability, and responsiveness of Saudi
Aramco’s Master Gas System (MGS), as those pipelines are connected to the
northern and central sections of the MGS.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HAWIYAH
MORE INFO
HAWIYAH
We are expanding the gas processing capacity of our Hawiyah gas plant by more
than 1 BSCFD. The new gas processing facilities, expected to be on stream in
2022, are anticipated to raise total production capacity of the plant to
approximately 3.6 BSCFD, making it one of the largest gas processing facilities
in the world.
We are making improvements to sustain gas production from both the Haradh and
Hawiyah fields for the next 20 years and boost production by an average of 1.2
BSCFD. The program includes installing gas compression facilities, liquid
separation stations, and transmission lines to our Haradh and Hawiyah gas
plants, along with expanding the existing gas gathering pipeline network.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KARAN
MORE INFO
KARAN
Karan, was our first non-associated offshore gas field development. Discovered
in 2006 in the thickest, extremely prolific and complex carbonate layers, the
project was fast-tracked, taking only six years to go from discovery to
production.
Non-associated gas fields do not have an associated oil column and, therefore,
can be accessed without producing oil. The raw gas is transported through a
110-kilometer subsea pipeline to the Khursaniyah Gas Plant for processing.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SHAYBAH
MORE INFO
SHAYBAH
The natural gas liquids (NGL) recovery plant at Shaybah was commissioned and
began production in late 2015, with a second processing train starting up in
2016. The plant NGL production helps Saudi Aramco to meet increasing demand for
petrochemical feedstock.
Designed to process as much as 2.4 BSCFD of associated gas and recover 275,000
bpd of ethane plus NGL, the Shaybah facility feeds these volumes of NGL via
pipeline to Ju’aymah for further processing before being delivered as
petrochemical feedstock to industrial cities.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WASIT
MORE INFO
WASIT
Wasit, one of the largest gas plants we have ever built, was brought onstream in
October 2015 and reached full operating capacity in mid-2016. Unlike our other
gas plants, Wasit is designed to process solely nonassociated gas.
To feed Wasit, we brought gas production onstream from the big bore
nonassociated gas wells in our offshore Arabiyah and Hasbah fields, situated
approximately 150 km northeast of Jubail Industrial City in the Arabian Gulf.
With the startup of production from these two fields, more than 40% of our
nonassociated gas now comes from offshore fields.
Our continued success in increasing supplies of cleaner burning natural gas
makes it possible for us to reduce emissions, enable new industries and release
more crude oil for value-added refining or export.

OIL PRODUCTION & REFINERIES
ABQAIQ
MORE INFO
ABQAIQ
As the company's largest oil processing facility and the largest crude oil
stabilization plant in the world, Abqaiq plays a pivotal role in our day-to-day
operations.
Abqaiq oil facilities receive sour crude oil from gas-oil separation plants
(GOSPs), process it into sweet crude oil, and then transport it to Ras Tanura
and Jubail on the east coast, Yanbu' on the west coast and to Bapco Refinery in
Bahrain. The off gases from the spheroids and stabilizer columns that are part
of the conversion process are then sent to Abqaiq natural gas liquids (NGL)
facilities for further processing.
Abqaiq is the main oil processing center for Arabian Extra Light and Arabian
Light crude oils.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GHAWAR
MORE INFO
GHAWAR
The northern-most portion of the Ghawar field lies approximately 100 kilometers
west of Dhahran. The field comprises six main areas (Fazran, Ain Dar, Shedgum,
Uthaminyah, Hawiyah and Haradh) and extends southward over more than 200
kilometers as one long continuous anticline. It is approximately 36 kilometers
across at its widest point.
We believe that the Ghawar field is the largest oil field in the world in terms
of conventional proved reserves, totaling 58.32 billion barrels of oil
equivalent as at 31 December 2018. It has accounted for more than half of the
total cumulative crude oil production in the Kingdom.
The Ghawar field facilities and infrastructure remain a central component in our
long-term strategic framework for optimizing both technical recovery of
resources and the economic of resource management.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HARADH
MORE INFO
HARADH
The Haradh area, located at the southern tip of the Ghawar oil field, was
developed in three increments of 300,000 bpd of Arabian Light crude oil
capacity.
Haradh III was also the first plant in the Southern Area of company operations
to have completely automated well control and monitoring, allowing remote
operations. The project benefited from successful integration of four
technologies: multilateral, maximum reservoir contact (MRC) wells; Smart Well
completions (using control valves for preventing premature water breakthrough);
geosteering (for optimal placement of wells in the reservoir for maximum
recovery); and the “intelligent field” concept, in which real-time sub-surface
data transmissions enable continual monitoring of key reservoir indicators. The
integrated use of these four technologies slashed unit well development costs
three-fold.
KHURAIS
MORE INFO
KHURAIS
The Khurais complex, which comprises of the Abu Jifan and Mazalij fields in
addition to Khurais itself, is approximately 106 kilometers long and 18
kilometers across at its widest point.

KHURSANIYAH
MORE INFO
KHURSANIYAH
The Khursaniyah program includes facilities to process and stabilize 500,000 bpd
of Arabian Light crude oil blend from the Abu Hadriya, Fadhili and Khursaniyah
fields, and a grassroots gas plant to process one billion scfd of associated
gas.
Khursaniyah began producing oil in August 2008. The facility also has the
capacity to inject 1.1 million bpd of non-potable water for reservoir pressure
maintenance.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MANIFA
MORE INFO
MANIFA
The UNESCO environmental responsibility award nominated Manifa crude oil
development was designed to produce 900,000 bpd of Arabian Heavy crude oil, 90
million scfd of sour gas, and 65,000 bpd of hydrocarbon condensate.
By employing best-in-class technologies in infrastructure, drilling and
production activities, the project consumed more than 80 million man hours
without a lost time injury.
Prior to construction, extensive engineering and ecological assessments were
conducted to ensure that the marine ecosystem would not be adversely affected by
developing the field. As a direct result of these studies, Saudi Aramco
constructed three kilometers of bridges to span the migration paths of various
marine species, maintaining natural water flow and preserving natural marine
nurseries.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NUAYYIM
MORE INFO
NUAYYIM
Nuayyim crude oil increment added 100,000 bpd of Arabian Super Light crude oil
and 90 million scfd of associated gas to our production capacity.
The project – the first in-Kingdom project of this scale with a project proposal
completed entirely in Saudi Arabia – also included a gas-oil separation plant,
140 kilometers of 16” gas pipeline, and water supply facilities at Hawtah.
Smokeless flaring has been used to significantly reduce emissions.
The field, which entered production in August 2009, is 250 kilometers south of
Riyadh and about 50 kilometers northeast of our Hawtah crude oil facility, the
first producing facility in the Central Region of Saudi Arabia.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Arabian Extra Light, Light and Medium grades.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SAFANIYAH
MORE INFO
SAFANIYAH
We believe that Safaniyah field is the world's largest conventional offshore oil
field in terms of proved reserves. It is located approximately 260 kilometers
north of Dhahran. Most of the field lies offshore in the Arabian Gulf. Within
the Concession area, the Safaniyah field is approximately 50 kilometers long and
15 kilometers wide.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SHAYBAH
MORE INFO
SHAYBAH
The Shaybah field, located in the Rub’ al-Khali or Empty Quarter, was discovered
in 1968. Its remote location, local summer temperatures in excess of 50 degrees
Celsius and sand dunes higher than 300 meters presented serious challenges. So
for technical and economic reasons, development was held off until 20 years
later. However, by the 1990s, advances in 3D seismic imaging technology,
horizontal drilling and other technologies gave us the tools we needed to begin
production.
The field is approximately 13 kilometers wide and 64 kilometers long. Due to the
field's remoteness, its facilities include a dedicated NGL recovery unit, an
airfield and accommodation for staff.
Our second 250,000 bpd expansion project at Shaybah came on-stream in 2016,
raising its overall production capacity to 1 million bpd of Arabian Extra Light
crude oil — double the facility’s original capacity.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ZULUF
MORE INFO
ZULUF
The Zuluf field is located in the Arabian Gulf, approximately 240 kilometers
