World-leading refinery

The Petro Rabigh refinery is a joint venture between Japanese and Saudi companies. Sumitomo Chemical Co. Ltd., Japan and state-owned Saudi Aramco each hold a 37.5 percent stake with the balance being owned by the Saudi public. Petro Rabigh utilizes 400 000 barrels of crude oil per day and 1.2 million tons of ethane as primary feedstock to produce a variety of refined petroleum and petrochemical products.
After the Rabigh II expansion project, Petro Rabigh will produce an additional 30 million standard cubic feet of ethane per day and approximately 3 million tons of naphtha per year as feedstock.
