Buraik highlighted the fact that Saudi Arabia comprises roughly one-third of OPEC production and said, "This has put the onus on Saudi Aramco to intensify its effort to meet growing global demand." He said Saudi Aramco is using a systematic program of strategic investments along the petroleum value chain to meet the energy demand while enhancing the Kingdom's economy. Referring to Exploration, human resources and development, Al-Buraik said, "Saudi Aramco considers our employees as the most vital asset that will shape our future and help E&P (Exploration and Production) meet future challenges. The long-term investment in the workforce is one of Saudi Aramco's priorities."
