Saudi Aramco Showcases Investment Opportunities At Al Ahsa Forum 2025 For Economic Growth

Saudi Aramco highlighted investment opportunities in both public and private sectors at the Al Ahsa Forum 2025. Organised by Al-Ahsa Chamber, the event attracted ministers, officials, experts, and business leaders from local and international companies. As a strategic partner, Saudi Aramco aims to promote investment in Al Ahsa while showcasing its role in supporting energy-sector investments and driving economic development in the region.

Eng. Amin Hassan Al-Nasser, President and CEO of Saudi Aramco, spoke about Al Ahsa's historical significance and its connection to Aramco's legacy. He noted that for decades, the region has hosted some of Aramco’s most significant operations. Eng. Al-Nasser highlighted that Aramco has expanded its mega projects and strategic initiatives in Al Ahsa in recent years to boost investment opportunities, generate jobs, and contribute to GDP growth and economic activity.

Eng. Al-Nasser described Jafurah Field as the "crown jewel" of shale gas fields. Located in Al Ahsa, it is the largest shale gas field under development in the Middle East. The total investment in Jafurah exceeds $100 billion over 15 years, with an expected annual contribution of $23 billion to Saudi Arabia’s GDP. This project is crucial for Saudi Vision 2030 and aims to increase gas production capacity by over 60% by 2030.

The Jafurah Field is projected to reach a production capacity of 2 billion standard cubic feet per day of marketable gas by 2030. This will strengthen Saudi Arabia’s position as a key global gas producer. Eng. Al-Nasser emphasized the project's strategic importance for both the Kingdom and Aramco's goals.

Aramco's environmental efforts were also underscored by Eng. Al-Nasser during his speech. He highlighted the company's long history of environmental protection through innovative projects and initiatives. One such initiative includes collaboration with King Faisal University to establish a Nature-Based Solutions Center.

The launch of research projects on mangrove trees in Saudi Arabia aligns with Aramco’s commitment to combating climate change. These efforts support both the Saudi Green Initiative and the Middle East Green Initiative, demonstrating Aramco's dedication to environmental sustainability.

The forum serves as a platform to promote investment in Al Ahsa while showcasing the company’s role in supporting energy-sector investments and driving economic development in Saudi Arabia, particularly in Al Ahsa.
