Saudi Minister of Energy Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, his American counterpart Chris Wright and Aramco CEO Amin Nasser visited on Monday the Kingdom’s first ever oil well - Well No. 1 - in the Dammam region.

The well was drilled by the Arabian-American Oil Company - now known as Aramco - in 1935, marking a landmark moment in Saudi Arabia’s history and oil industry.

Wright is an official visit to the region that he kicked off in the United Arab Emirates and followed by Saudi Arabia. Qatar is his next stop.

Prince Abdulaziz and Wright had held talks on aspects of cooperation between their countries in several energy fields.
