oil and natural gas company. It is the biggest State owned oil corporation in 
the world, the world's most valuable company and operates the biggest oil 
reserve in the world. It was established in 1933 as California-Arabian Standard 
Oil Co. (by the interest in the region discovered and fostered by the Standard

that region), then changed its name in 1944 as Aramco and then again in 1988 as
