Join an expert panel of speakers for an overview of current market opportunities for U.S. companies in Saudi Arabia. Learn about upcoming projects in oil and gas from Saudi Aramco, new opportunities arising from the country’s ambitious Vision 2030 diversification plan, and recent reforms in the commercial and regulatory environment making the market more accessible to international companies.
Saudi Aramco expects to award contracts for some 90 major projects over the next three years. While the bulk of these are for oil and gas processing and refining facilities,?there are also multiple projects for pipelines and distribution, civil infrastructure, and security systems.
