Saudi Aramco encouraged representatives of the oil and gas industries to press ahead with implementing Fourth Industrial Revolution (4.0) technologies, during its participation at the 2019 Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC).

Speaking at a panel titled “How is the industry embracing digital innovation?” on the industry’s digital transformation and the latest trends in technology, Aramco’s Senior VP of Operations and Business Services Muhammad al-Saggaf, discussed the company’s research and development (R&D).

He also addressed the deployment of the TeraPOWERS technology, which models reservoir physics from the original generation to final production. This technology enables Aramco to model the physics of its reservoirs to prioritize prospects, reduce exploration risks and costs, and manage its reservoirs.

Senior Vice President of Downstream Abdulaziz al-Judaimi will participate on Wednesday in panel “Downstream 4.0: Refining and Petrochemicals, Growth Through Innovation and Digitization,” on new strategies around digital, people and business partnership.

He is expected to shed light o the opportunities presented by 4th Industrial Revolution technologies and reaffirm Aramco’s commitment to continue developing, harnessing, and fully utilizing the emergent technologies for value creation.

World Economic Forum (WEF) recognized Aramco’s efforts in the energy sector’s 4.0 transformation in September 2018 when the company’s Othmaniyah Gas Plant was named one of the Fourth Industrial Revolution 4.0 “lighthouses”.

Aramco is the first energy company globally to be included in this group of 16 manufacturing sites selected from an initial list of 1,000 manufacturers from around the world.

Israel launched a large-scale military operation on Tuesday in the old city of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, AFP journalists reported, with the army reporting injured troops and two Palestinians "eliminated".

Dozens of military vehicles entered the city shortly after midnight, an AFP journalist reported, after a curfew had been announced over loudspeakers the day before.

Military operations are focused on the old city, a densely populated area bordering a large downtown square where young men and boys gathered to burn tires and throw stones at armored vehicles.

The Israeli army said that one soldier was "moderately injured" and three others "lightly injured" when two Palestinians attempted to steal a soldier's weapon.

Troops opened fire and "eliminated" both Palestinians, the army said in a statement, using a term the military often uses when killing gunmen.

AFPTV footage showed Israeli soldiers standing in one of the old city's narrow streets, next to the bodies of two civilians.

Neither Palestinian medics nor the Israeli army confirmed the two deaths.

The Palestinian Red Crescent said on Tuesday that three people were injured from bullet shrapnel, four from "physical assaults", and dozens more from tear gas inhalation.

It added that many injuries had to be handled within the old city after its ambulances were blocked from entering.

Nablus is located in the northern West Bank, a Palestinian territory occupied by Israel since 1967.

The territory's north has been the target of a major Israeli military operation dubbed "Iron Wall" since January 21.

On Tuesday, Israeli soldiers entered shops to search them and arrested several people for questioning, according to an AFP correspondent at the scene.

The correspondent added that Israeli flags were raised over the roofs of buildings in the Old City that had been turned into temporary bases for Israeli troops.

Violence has surged in the West Bank since the start of the Gaza war, triggered by the unprecedented October 7, 2023 attack by the Palestinian movement Hamas on Israel.

At least 938 Palestinians, including fighters but also many civilians, have been killed in the West Bank by Israeli soldiers or settlers, according to data from the Palestinian Authority.

During the same period, least 35 Israelis, both civilians and soldiers, have been killed in Palestinian attacks or during Israeli military raids, according to official Israeli figures.
