Aramco: Oil, Power, and the Global Stage


Listen Later

A clear-eyed, jargon-free deep dive into Saudi Aramco—from its 1930s oil explorations and the World War II–era shifts to the 1980 nationalisation, the 2019 IPO, and today’s expansive footprint in refining, LNG, and renewables. We pull from Wikipedia and Aramco’s own materials to explain how this company has shaped geopolitics, markets, and everyday life—while tackling cyber threats, environmental debates, and questions of accountability on the path to a lower-emissions future.
