This book discusses the strategic shift in ownership of Aramco, the
Saudi Arabian Oil Company, and its potential impact on Aramco's
role in a post- privatized world. Scheduled to become an IPO in
2018, Aramco is on the verge of becoming the largest IPO on the
market. As the world's largest oil and gas company, Aramco's
impending privatization has important implications for the world's
petroleum market. This book, therefore, undertakes an analysis of
Aramco, examining its history, its current role in Saudi Arabia's
economy, and its future role as an IPO. The chapters highlight the
likely outcomes for Aramco in proceeding with its planned IPO and
privatization, as well as the various policy options and models
available to it by drawing on the privatization of other national
oil companies in Norway , Russia, Brazil, and China. The book also
explores the complexities that will be involved in transforming
Saudi Aramco to a privatized company-albeit with significant
government oversight and control-and addresses key questions on the
issues likely to be faced, such as IPO pricing, the listing,
domain, and market capacity, and potential stakeholders. As such,
this book will be of interest to academic researchers studying
energy economics, energy policy, and the political economy of the
Middle East, as well as private sector decision makers in energy
related fields, international organizations, international oil
companies, energy commodity traders, and public sector energy
policy makers with interest in Saudi Arabia and Aramco's IPO.
