In the season 14 premiere, Hank and Peggy had worked for Aramco in Saudi Arabia.
The revival reveals that the Hills left Arlen, Texas, and spent years in Saudi Arabia building their retirement nest egg. Hank worked in propane there, serving as an assistant manager connected with Arabian propane and propane accessories. Peggy accompanied him during the overseas chapter of their lives.
Aramco is the familiar name of Saudi Arabian Oil Company, one of the world’s largest energy companies. The detail is a deliberate extension of Hank’s established identity: even after years at Strickland Propane, his expertise in propane remains the basis of his career. The premiere’s premise is easy to confuse with Hank’s former employer, Strickland Propane, but the Saudi Arabian company is Aramco.
