Saudi Aramco Joins MIT Energy Initiative 3 Houston

Saudi Aramco’s participation will also allow the company to work through
MITEI to conduct customized research that supports R&DC’s priorities.

Two research projects currently under way are “Whole Crude Oil
Desulfurization by Supercritical Water,” and “Bioprocess Engineering on
Microbial Desulfurization.”

Additionally, Saudi Aramco’s collaboration with MIT will provide a range of
education-sharing programs, including opportunities for company-sponsored
students to attend MIT to conduct their post-graduate studies related to the
funded research.

Representatives from Saudi Aramco’s R&DC - along with ASC Engineering -
worked with MITEI to propose research projects and review seed-fund initiatives
and will continue to represent the company on MITEI’s various committees and
work groups.
