VIDEO: Al-Qahtani discusses energy industry in a post-COVID-19 world

Aramco's senior vice president of Downstream Mohammed Y. Al-Qahtani spoke about the company's ongoing efforts in responding to climate change and the pandemic in a fireside chat Wednesday as part of IP Week, held this year virtually.

In a discussion titled "Opportunities for Transformation in a Post-COVID-19 World," Al-Qahtani highlighted that the company’s carbon intensity for its oil production is already amongst the lowest in the world, at about 10kg of CO₂ equivalent. In addition the company’s methane intensity is also amongst the lowest in the world.

Later the same day, Aramco’s head of HR and Support Services of Chemicals, Reem Al-Ghanim, participated in a panel session titled, “The Future of Work.”

Earlier in the week, Aramco hosted its own Virtual Energy Forum, “Energy Reimagined.” The online forum saw remarks and a question-and-answer session with Aramco’s vice president of Marketing and Sales, Ahmed A. Al-Subaey, and its chief technology officer, Ahmad O. Al Khowaiter.
