Saudi Aramco's Abu Hadriyah, Fadhili and Khursaniyah Producing Facilities have initiated successful and safe startup. The Company's President and CEO Khalid A. Al-Falih toured recently these facilities and also attended a recognition ceremony hosted by Saudi Aramco in honor of all the employees, departments, divisions and units who participated in this venture's completion and its coming on-stream. The event was organized by Northern Area Oil Operations (NAOO). “If I had to summarize the story of Khursaniyah in one word, I would say perseverance. You persisted against all odds, you worked together. You united, and you kept going when the going was tough,” Al-Falih said. Following the tour, Zaid M. Al-Hazmi, manager of Ras Tanura Producing, gave a brief overview on the success story that is the Khursaniyah Program, highlighting its emphasis on safety, early planning and using young personnel to run the project. “A total of 140 apprentices were hired for the project, which represent 70 percent of the operation and maintenance work force,” said Al-Hazmi in a press release of Saudi Aramco.
