A visit to Sauid Aramco No matter how boredom the introduction of anything becomes, when it's quoted from Wikipedia but I don't have that leverage to skip it. Saudi Aramco (Arabic: أرامكو السعودية‎ ʾArāmkō s-Saʿūdiyyah), officially the Saudi Arabian Oil Company, most popularly known just as Aramco (formerly Arabian-American Oil Company) is a Saudi Arabian national petroleum and natural gas company based in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.Saudi Aramco's value has been estimated at anywhere between US$1.25 trillionand US$7 trillion, making it the world's most valuable company. Saudi Aramco has both the world's largest proven crude oil reserves, at more than 260 billion barrels (4.1×1010 m3), and largest daily oil production.Saudi Aramco owns, operates and develops all energy resources based in Saudi Arabia. According to 2015 Forbes report, Aramco is said to be the world's largest oil and gas company. So that's all about the introduction now I am very eager to share my first experience while visiting their base at Al Qassim. I am not in maths but anyway the distance between City and the aramco base is about 150 km. As soon as I started heading toward the base, I came across some beautiful sceneries, all kind of birds, kids playing with their mom and dad at the park, couples hanging and shrugging, saw cattle grazing on open meadows, it was just land cropped from a paradise. Any way I kept going, all of sudden a breeze started and so the rain. I really enjoyed the rain. Hell rain, the wind was so hot as a fire. To stop mocking further, everything that I discussed previously will make it's place to next wonder of the world if it ever happens. I din't saw single tree, was completely tormented by desert. I was in no man's land and I came across a terrain that no one has ever dreamed of. Fast forward to the first stop before entering to the base; stopped by gun men and started questioning about our existence here. We showed our Iqamas (Residence Permit Card) but found out later that our journey was in complete vain because we forgot to bring our approval letter. Came all the way back to rest room, we blamed each other and then stopped talking on the way back. The next day, headed again toward h---- correction our place of interest. This time they let us In but started circling our car. Next we waited for another three hours, so that our approval letter get processed. Eventually we were allowed to gaze at the work site. Stay tuned for more and my main reason to be here...
