Saudi Aramco has released its 2008 Annual Review, reaffirming its role as a leading provider of energy. The Review summarizes company operations and outlines significant achievements throughout the year. The Annual Review's theme, “Setting New Standards: Our Legacy, Our Future,'' highlights the company's unmatched track record of reliability, innovations in technology across the petroleum value chain, and its commitment to providing energy to the world while maximizing the value of its petroleum reserves for the benefit of the Kingdom's citizens. Ali I. Al-Naimi, Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Chairman of the Saudi Aramco Board of Directors, in the review released last Wednesday said: “Saudi Aramco's prudent management of the world's largest petroleum reserves and fourth-largest gas reserves was showcased this anniversary year through the company's ongoing, record capital program to expand oil and gas production capacity, a highlight of which was the rapid progress made on the Khurais development program. With 1.2 million barrels per day of production capacity, Khurais is the single largest integrated oil project not only in company history but in the history of the global oil industry.” --MORE
