About 70% of Saudi Aramco’s 70,000 employees work at the frontline of our business — operating and maintaining the company’s world leading processing, production, and distribution facilities. Science Magazine published a research finding in 2018 that the amount of greenhouse gases (GHG) associated with each upstream barrel Saudi Aramco produces ranked as the second lowest among the 50 countries analyzed.
As Saudi Aramco goes about meeting the growing demand for ample, reliable, and affordable energy, the company has a commitment to reduce emissions. The low carbon intensity of Saudi Arabian crude oil is a result of multiple factors, including the company’s continuous implementation of best-in-class reservoir management practices, flare minimization, energy efficiency, GHG emissions management, and the methane leak detection and repair program.
