The World Economic Forum has recognized a third Aramco facility, Abqaiq, for
its pioneering adoption and integration of cutting-edge technologies of the
Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). The Abqaiq oil processing facility, the
largest oil processing plant in the world, joins Aramco’s Uthmaniyah Gas Plant

Global Lighthouse status is awarded to projects that demonstrate leadership in
4IR technologies to transform factories, value chains and business models.
Abqaiq is one of 21 new facilities added to the network, taking the total
number to 90 worldwide, and Aramco is the only international energy company to
be recognized.
Aramco’s Digital Transformation Vice President, Nabil Al-Nuaim, said: “We are
delighted to be recognized once again for our adoption and deployment of
cutting-edge technologies. That three of our key facilities have been added to
the Global Lighthouse Network in less than three years is a testament to the
importance we place on our Digital Transformation Program – and the rapid pace
at which it is advancing. Through pioneering the large-scale use of 4IR
solutions, such as Artificial Intelligence, Industrial Internet of Things
(IioT), automation and robotics, we are setting new benchmarks for global
industry. In the process, we are achieving significant improvements in cost,
efficiency, product quality, energy consumption and environmental performance.”
Abqaiq is a cornerstone of Aramco’s operations and produces Arab Light Crude
