Al-Saggaf, manager of EXPEC ARC and a member of the KFUPM-Saudi Aramco Research Subcommittee, at the signing ceremony. “Together, utilizing the specific strengths of each of the key organizations, we can develop this technology and apply it in Saudi Aramco's operations,” he added. EXPEC ARC's Advanced Mud Logging, a five-year research program, will support the joint effort, providing essential expertise concerning Saudi Aramco's exploration and other well drilling activities, serving as an aid for comprehensive formation evaluation, and funding the project. If successful, the outcome of the endeavor is expected to have a substantial impact on Saudi Aramco's exploration and development activities.
