Saudi Aramco is the greatest oil and gas producer in the world. In 2013, they produced 12.7 millions of BOE (barrels of oil and natural gas equivalent) per day. Resinex and Saudi Aramco started a long collaboration since the 70’s and this cooperation still goes on also today. Resinex has projected and made for Aramco, special underwater floats and chain passing through buoys destined to the oil fields of the Eastern coast of Saudi Arabia. Products, which are constantly used by the great Saudi operator.
Thanks to the long experience, when Aramco decided to improve the marine signalization of their refinery in Jeddah, they have chosen Resinex once again. The Aramco refinery in Jeddah, has a refining capacity of 350.000 barrels per day which can reach 450.000 bbl/per day during peak loads.
