"Saudi Aramco and Its World" is an updated edition of a book first published in 1981, reflecting significant social, political, and economic changes in the Middle East and globally over the past 15 years. The book evolved from a handbook for employees to a comprehensive guide for a general readership, aiming to increase understanding of Saudi Arabia and the Middle East, as well as the oil industry, for readers with no direct connection to the region. It includes new material such as maps and photographs, showcasing remarkable developments within Saudi Arabia and the company. The origins of the book trace back to the late 1940s when Aramco, later becoming Saudi Aramco in 1988, experienced considerable growth after World War II. The content of the book has evolved alongside global awareness of the region, becoming an essential resource for those interested in learning about Islam, the Arab world, and the oil industry.
