“Investment in capital, technology, people and partnerships are the four key success factors needed to meet future energy demands,” said Dawood M. Al-Dawood, Saudi Aramco's vice president of Marketing, Supply and Joint Venture Coordination, who was the guest of honor and key speaker recently at the Energy Institute's International Petroleum (IP) Week luncheon. Al-Dawood, in his speech titled “Investing through the Downturn: Four Key Success Factors for the Energy Future,” urged the 2,000-strong audience to “see the many positives and opportunities that lie ahead,” despite the current business climate. Al-Dawood spoke of Saudi Aramco's plan “to continue to invest across the hydrocarbon value chain to support global supply efforts, now and in the future,” following with highlights of Saudi Aramco's massive investment projects, according to a latest report carried by Saudi Aramco's web-site.
