Aramco - North Ghawar

North Ghawar Oil Producing Complex’s history began with the start of Saudi oil production in 1938 and today manages assets dispersed over 12,500km. To meet increasing demand while reducing both operational costs and emissions, the complex launched a 4IR strategy. It pioneered oil-producing intelligence, boosted existing asset reliability and upskilled young talent by leveraging over 65 solutions, including advanced analytics, AI-powered digital twins and Aramco large language model (LLM) genAI. As a result, oil production increased by 8.44% while Scope 1 and 2 emissions reduced by 8.21% per barrel of oil equivalent.
