Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman visited the Saudi Aramco Research Center in Houston on Saturday, as the third week of his tour of the United States comes to an end.

The Aramco visit focused on the Saudi oil giant’s research agenda in the US.

The Crown Prince was briefed by Saudi energy minister Khalid al-Falih as he watched a presentation on Aramco's fields of research and its global technology network.
