Overview

This Saudi downstream refining sector analysis explains how refining moved from a support function for crude exports into a strategic pillar of industrial development and value maximisation under Vision 2030. With total refining capacity of approximately 2.9 million barrels per day spread across domestic and international joint ventures, the Kingdom ranks among the world’s largest refining nations. The strategic logic is straightforward: rather than exporting raw crude and allowing other nations to capture refining margins, Saudi Arabia increasingly processes its own crude into higher-value refined products and petrochemical feedstock.
