Matching fuel to emerging engine technologies is the focus of Aramco Overseas’
facility in Paris.

The Aramco Fuel Research Center opened
in Paris, France, in 2013. It is one of
a number of Saudi Aramco sponsored advanced research centers. Each center focuses on a particular area of
technology, and is located near a community of expertise in that area of
technology.
According to a 2012 press release …
///////
Delft was the first of the Aramco
Overseas international satellite research centers and specializes in seismic
data processing and imaging.
The Delft Research Center was opened in 2012 and is located inside the Delft
University of Technology, where a collaborative 'open door' culture enables
access to the wealth of expertise, including the Delphi Consortium, of which
Saudi Aramco is a sponsor.
The main task of the Delft Research Center is to aid and improve seismic data
processing to get a sharper image of the subsurface, which allows it to obtain
more reliable information upon which drilling decisions can be based.
The second group at King Abdullah
University for Science and Technology (KAUST), undertakes projects related to
biocapture, robotics, fuel technology, chemicals, membranes and advanced
materials. Five additional stand-alone research centres are also well under
way.
The second technology office, located in Aberdeen, Scotland, is nearing
completion and will handle partnerships, collaboration and other business
functions largely related to production and drilling technologies.
A centre in Houston will span all upstream disciplines. Houston, a major hub
for oil and gas research and development (R&D) activities, is near chemical
and oil field fluids manufacturers. It is also close to service companies'
R&D labs, as well as top petroleum engineering universities.
A stand-alone centre is also under way in Cambridge, Massachusetts, adjacent to
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, to support computational reservoir
modelling, nanotechnology and advanced gas membrane systems. This centre will
host both EXPEC ARC and R&DC teams.
Beijing will be the location for another research centre with emphasis on
research in reservoir and production chemistry and geophysics.
A southeast Michigan centre will focus on carbon capture from mobile sources
and fuel technology research, and the company’s Fuel Technology Team - in
collaboration with leading research organisations - will be conducting joint
research on fuel and engine development in Paris.
