Saudi Aramco is planning an organizational restructuring that includes the creation of a gas division, according to informed sources, in a move that reflects the growing role of the gas business in the company’s strategy. The scope of the new division’s responsibilities and the timetable for implementing the restructuring have not yet been determined.
Rapid expansion of the gas business
The plan comes as Aramco targets an approximately 80% increase in sales gas production capacity by 2030 from 2021 levels of about 10.1 billion standard cubic feet per day, according to company data.
Aramco’s daily gas processing capacity reached about 19.6 billion standard cubic feet at the end of 2025, up from 2 billion standard cubic feet in 2000, according to the company.
Jafurah and Tanajib support growth strategy
Production at the Jafurah field began in December 2025, and Aramco is targeting production by 2030 of 2 billion standard cubic feet per day of sales gas, 420 million standard cubic feet per day of ethane, and about 630,000 barrels per day of natural gas liquids and condensates.
Operations also began at the Tanajib gas plant in December 2025, and the company expects its raw gas processing capacity to reach 2.6 billion standard cubic feet per day during 2026. These projects are increasing the operational weight of the gas business within Aramco as the planned restructuring proceeds.
