The story behind the answer

Saudi Aramco, among the world's most valuable listed companies by market capitalization, is headquartered in Saudi Arabia.

The company's headquarters are in Dhahran, in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province. The region is closely associated with the kingdom's major oil fields, processing facilities, and energy infrastructure.

Saudi Aramco traces its origins to the California-Arabian Standard Oil Company, formed in 1933. The company later became fully owned by the Saudi government, and a portion of its shares was offered to the public in 2019 on the Saudi Stock Exchange, known as Tadawul.

The company is one of the world's largest integrated energy and petroleum companies. Its business includes exploration, production, refining, chemicals, and marketing. Its market capitalization can move with both its share price and the number of shares included in the calculation.
