Setting New Standards In 2008, we not only celebrated the 75th anniversary of the signing of the historic concession agreement between the Saudi government and Standard Oil of California that occurred on May 29, 1933, but we were also busy setting new standards in many areas throughout the company. For instance: 4
A patent was issued in 2008 for a real-time earth model for collaborative geosteering, and another for a comprehensive reporting and control matrix for the management of our pipeline system. We conducted the first successful laboratory demonstration of the injection of nano-particles into reservoir rocks, and the recovery of the nano-particles at rates comparable to field conditions and at low concentration. For the reservoir robots (Resbots) concept, EXPEC ARC won the prestigious New Horizons Idea Award at the 2008 World Oil Awards. 5
On November 1, 2008, the company completed its first giga-cell (1 billion cells) reservoir simulation run. The achievement was made using GigaPOWERS, the nextgeneration parallel reservoir simulator developed by Saudi Aramco. We successfully completed the first casing-while-drilling project in Saudi Arabia in 2008, and we installed our first nonmetallic piping in two sour-crude oil pipelines that connect Ain Dar GOSPs with Abqaiq Plants. Long-term tests in whole crude oil desulfurization began in early 2008. And we have deployed bacteria operationally as part of a Nitrate Treatment in the Hawtah oil field, thereby controlling a sulfide problem in an environmentally friendly fashion. In 2008, two offshore nonassociated gas fields (Rabib and Arabiyah) and one oil field (Niyashin) were discovered. We continued to set new standards by moving forward with the largest capital expansion program in our history. In 2008, we made significant progress on the following oil-production capacity increments: 6 The Khurais development will add 1.2 million barrels per day (bpd) of Arabian Light crude-oil production
capacity and also dehydrate 320 million standard cubic feet per day (scfd) of gas and produce 80,000 bpd of NGL. Khurais is the largest integrated oil project in company history. The Khursaniyah facilities are designed to process and stabilize 500,000 bpd of Arabian Light crude oil blend from the Abu Hadriya, Fadhili and Khursaniyah fields. The Shaybah expansion will increase production capacity at Shaybah from 500,000 bpd to 750,000 bpd of Arabian Extra Light crude oil expanding one of the company s most unique and iconic projects. 7
The Nuayyim crude-oil increment will use the stateof-the-art Intelligent Field approach to streamline reservoir management processes and facilitate realtime decision making. The increment will have the capacity to produce 100,000 bpd of sweet Arabian Super Light crude oil. The offshore Manifa project will add 900,000 bpd of Arabian Heavy crude oil production capacity, 90 million scfd of associated gas and 65,000 bpd of condensate. The project s unusually shallow offshore site requires significant environmental-protection measures. 8
