SAMI Arabia Client Case Study: Marafiq

In recent years, many industrial companies in the region have begun to realize the importance of Strategic Asset Management (SAM) as an enterprise strategy that, properly implemented, will result in achieving Operations Excellence (OpEx).  The tangible results include a significant increase in profitability accompanied by a dramatic reduction in cost. The current crude oil market is delivering a huge influx of cash into the region.  Owners and Senior Management of the companies in the region are using the opportunity to invest heavily in the expansion of existing industrial facilities as well as the development of new facilities and new industries.

According to published data, Saudi Arabia has approximately 26% of the world’s known crude oil reserves; Iran and Iraq have about half that amount and the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait each control reserves equal to approximately 40% of the Saudi reserves.  Tiny Qatar has one of the largest known “un-associated” gas fields in the world.  This represents a critical source of energy for industrial development as well feed gas for petrochemical production.

In the modern world, the leadership and management of the large industrials in the region are highly competent, well educated individuals.  They are actively seeking strategies that will enable their companies to compete successfully in regional and global markets.  They are supported by engineers and professionals who are well trained and competent.  This is no longer the Arabia of Lawrence; it is a modern, growing industrial base with no foreseeable limitation on revenue to support growth and expansion.
