Carbon Emissions

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

"It is the single greatest contributor to global carbon emissions of any company in the world since 1965."

Wow! They must have burned lots of oil or created lots of cement to emit all that carbon! What?! Aramco neither burned oil, nor made cement? Oh, the people they sold the oil to actually burned it and emitted the carbon!

Hmm, then maybe that sentence isn't really accurate and is just a political statement inserted by some anti-corporate activist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.76.239.36 (talk) 02:28, 19 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Can someone please change the ownership infobox as the remaining 10% owner of the company is named and hyperlinked as capital ship linking to an article about naval warships. IsaacTW3001 (talk) 01:33, 16 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Aramco was mentioned in Season 14 of King Of The Hill. Should this be mentioned in the article? Dr. Precursor (talk) 02:53, 18 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

Can't see how [16] directly supports start of History section

Going to preface by saying I'm new (hence why I'm starting a talk topic rather than just editing) so please forgive if I'm being silly and missing something here.

"Saudi Aramco's origins trace to the oil shortages of World War I and the exclusion of American companies from Mesopotamia by the United Kingdom and France under the San Remo Petroleum Agreement of 1920"

First off, I don't understand why it's being referred to as the "San Remo Petroleum Agreement." I can't find any records of that being the parlance, but rather "San Remo Oil Agreement". I also feel like the hyperlink should be to the page for the San Remo Oil Agreement rather than simply to the San Remo conference page.

I believe a better source could be this EBSCO page which more explicitly states that "A compromise was reached in 1925, under which some of the shares of the Turkish Petroleum Company that were owned by Anglo-Persian Oil would be made available to a consortium of American oil companies, provided they accepted a proviso that they would not seek other oil development properties in the area controlled by the Turkish Petroleum Company."
