What is the official English name of Saudi Aramco, one of the world's most valuable companies?

The official English name of Saudi Aramco is Saudi Arabian Oil Company.

The name reflects the company’s history as Saudi Arabia’s national oil producer. “Aramco” originated as an acronym for Arabian American Oil Company, the consortium that developed Saudi oil operations before ownership gradually transferred to the Saudi government. The company adopted its current official name when it became fully state-owned in 1988.

Saudi Aramco is headquartered in Dhahran and is primarily engaged in exploring, producing, processing, transporting, and selling hydrocarbons. It is often described as the world’s largest integrated oil company. Its market value can vary with oil prices, production expectations, investor sentiment, and the number of shares available to public investors. The company is also commonly confused with Saudi Arabia’s wider energy ministry or sovereign wealth fund; those are separate entities.
