Saudi Aramco is implementing the largest capital program in its history, aiming to leverage low-cost, lower upstream carbon intensity production to meet expected global demand growth. Production from the Marjan crude oil increment is expected to come onstream in 2025, adding 300 mbpd of production capacity.

  • Gas production capacity growth target: ~80% over 2021 levels by 2030
  • Supply reliability for nine months 2025: 99.9%

In 2024, the company continued to pursue downstream opportunities to capture additional value, making investments in refining and petrochemical projects in key markets while extending retail presence globally. For example, low-equity investments with high crude placement rights in China support the long-term intention of increasing the liquids-to-chemicals business, positioning to place more crude oil and natural gas liquids into owned refineries and complexes for resilience during oil market fluctuations.

  • Downstream utilization of crude oil production: 54% for nine months 2025
  • New investment in Fujian JV: 25% stake, operational by 2030 with 320 mbpd refinery

Back in 2021, Saudi Aramco announced its ambition for net-zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions from wholly-owned operated assets by 2050, with efforts on track through pathways like energy efficiency improvements. In 2024, further investments in renewables were made through the New Energies business, advancing lower-carbon products in energy, chemicals, and materials sectors.

  • Upstream carbon intensity target: 15% reduction by 2035 from 2018 baseline of 9.1 kg COโ‚‚e/boe
  • Jubail CCS hub: Up to 9.0 mmpta COโ‚‚ by 2028, with 60% ownership

The company integrates AI into operations to extract more value from data, improve efficiencies, and lower emissions, believing the energy industry has significant opportunities from AI advancements.
