Technology and innovation are key drivers of our strategy to maximize the inherent value of the resource base, enable a more diversified and globally competitive domestic market for our products, and create a Saudi workforce with a world-class knowledge base. We realize these goals by developing and commercializing new technologies, evolving strategic alliances with industry partners, forging relationships with world leading research and academic institutions, and pursuing strategic acquisitions and investments to generate additional value.
Our research and development (R&D) efforts focus on the upstream, downstream, and sustainability domains — specifically on high-impact technologies that have the potential to create significant competitive advantage for our operations and help grow new businesses.
