Investment, Growth and Sustainable Development Prospects.

The availability of raw materials in the Eastern province, the presence of Saudi Aramco that supplies required feedstocks at very competitive prices and in large quantities, the ease of export from the city via King Fahd Industrial Port and its relative proximity to South East Asian countries to which most petrochemicals are exported, are other reasons for this choice.
The site of Saudi International Petrochemical Company (Sipchem) occupies an area of over one million square meters in the basic industries part of Jubail Industrial City.
