The Saudi Energy Minister and his American counterpart look at the history of the first petroleum well in the Kingdom (photos)

The Saudi Energy Ministry published two pictures showing Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, Chris Wright and Amin Al -Nasser, visiting the Dammam well No. (1), the first petroleum well in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with the attachment of the phrase: “Here the story started.”

The ministry explained that this well was dug by the American Arab Oil Company (Saudi Aramco later), in 1935, pointing out that it formed the starting point for the economic transformation and the beginning of the oil industry in the Kingdom.
