The event was attended by Royal Commission of Jubail CEO Ahmed bin Zaid Al Hussain as keynote speaker, as well as Arabian Drilling CEO Ghassan Mirdad.

“When our kingdom thinks big in terms of mega-projects, it will always deliver big. By 2027, Jubail aims to have the world’s largest carbon capture mega-project,” Ahmed bin Zaid ALHussain said in his speech.

“The advantages of localisation are reduction in supply chain delays, diminished logistics complexity and enhancement of our overall ability to swiftly respond to market demands. Localisation is not a choice; it is a transformative force that drives us toward the kingdom’s Vision 2030,” said Salwa Helal, Chief Supply Chain Officer of Arabian Drilling, who took to the stage to deliver her remarks upon receiving the Drilling Contractor of the Year award.

The event also featured an awards ceremony, where The Energy Year’s team distributed six awards honouring companies and projects for their exceptional contributions to the domestic market over the past year.
