The Saudi Aramco Shell Refinery Co. (SASREF) Ultra-Low-Sulfur Diesel Project is slated for startup in October. Saudi Aramco and SASREF executives visited the site recently for an update. Saudi Aramco's senior vice president of Operations Services, Abdulrahman F. Al-Wuhaib, also serves as chairman of the SASREF board of directors. He toured the refinery facility at Jubail Industrial City and was briefed by SASREF president Abdulhakim A. Gouhi, along with the company's management team. The refinery is expected to produce about 90,000 barrels per day of ultra-low-sulfur diesel, making SASREF the Kingdom's first producer in compliance with new environmental standards, according to a report carried today by Saudi Aramco's web-site.
