Saudi Arabia no longer an oil country, it’s an energy-producing one: Minister
“Saudi Arabia is no longer an oil country, it’s an energy-producing country,” the Kingdom’s Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman told reporters after OPEC+ ministers affirmed production levels through July.
“Not only we are an energy country, we are a very competitive energy country, and we are low-cost in producing oil, low cost in producing gas and low-cost in producing renewables and will definitely be the least-cost producer of hydrogen. I urge the world to accept this as a reality. We are going to be winners of all these activities,” Prince Abdulaziz was quoted as saying by S&P Global.
