Saudi Arabia is the largest oil producer and exporter in the world. It produces around 13 million barrels of oil per day, accounting for some 18 percent of global production. It also holds about one-fifth of global crude reserves estimated at 266 billion barrels and has an ambitious plan to increase exports of refined products including gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, kerosene and other petrochemicals over the coming years.
The demand for petroleum refining products in Saudi Arabia is expected to grow significantly due to increased domestic consumption as well as rising export volumes from existing refineries and upcoming new projects such as Riyadh Refinery Complex (RRC). The government??s focus on developing downstream industries will create a favorable investment climate which will attract foreign investors into setting up facilities that process higher end value added petroleum products. Furthermore, growing transport sector demands will increase consumption of gasoline and diesel fuels especially due to rapid growth in population resulting from high immigration rate into the country. Additionally, there have been plans by Saudi Aramco to expand its refinery capacity through joint ventures with international partners in order to meet increasing domestic needs along with providing competitively priced supplies for regional markets thus driving growth even further.
Despite robust growth prospects within this market segment there are certain challenges associated with it such as limited access to feedstock resources since most major oil producers restrict their supply contracts mainly focusing on local requirements. Moreover stringent environmental regulations regarding emissions control may hamper expansion plans thereby affecting productivity levels negatively resulting in decreased profits margins or losses incurred by potential investors going forward during project implementation stage itself. Additionally fluctuations in crude prices could leadto large scale volatilityin termsof profitability therefore compelling companies operating withinthis industrytoadopt measures accordingly so asto stay afloatinthe long run .
The Covid-19 pandemic has caused a slowdown in economic activity globally due to restrictions imposed on movement and business operations. This has reduced demand for transportation fuels like gasoline and diesel leading to lower consumption of these products in the country. The implementation of cost cutting measures by refineries along with lowered crude oil prices are expected to result in decreased profits for refiners over the forecast period.
Key players operating in the Saudi Arabia petroleum refining products market are Saudi Aramco (SA), Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC), Total SAEnergy Company, Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), Qatar Petroleum Refining Co., Ltd., Emirates National Oil Company Ltd(ENOC). These companies have invested heavily into new projects which will lead to increased capacity utilization and higher production volumes resulting into increased sales revenues over the coming years.
