Satorp signs logo design agreement with Cato Partners

Mr. Muhammad S. Al-AbdAllah, Vice President for Human Resources & Support Services signed for Satorp; and Mr. Dadi Motiwalla, General Manager of Cato Partner's regional office at Dubai signed for Cato Partners.

The design shall incorporate a number of components on top of which come Satorp's culture and values; the rich heritage of the two founding worldwide oil giants Saudi Aramco and the French company Total; and the deeply rooted history and positive values of Jubail city, Headquarters of the company and its refinery.

The company's initiative to accomplish this project comes in unison with important executive steps it undertook in the course of accelerating the refinery construction project as a whole, including signing of two agreements: one for the construction of the Temporary Facilities Complex and the other for the infrastructure and support services.

In addition, it has just launched its training program destined to end in employment by starting the academic and technical training of 217 apprentices who will make the first batch of the refinery's future operation workforce.

Training of the second batch will be in the period November 2009 to February 2010, when all training graduates will join the company as regular workforce members.

The founding agreement for Saudi Aramco Total Refining & Petrochemical Company was signed last year during Jeddah Energy Forum. The project aims at constructing a refinery with a feed capacity of 400,000 bpd to yield fuels like gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and coke; as well as petrochemicals such as propylene, butane, paraxylene, and kerosene. Production is planned to start by the end of 2012.
