Description

The Caravan Goes On: How Aramco and Saudi Arabia Grew Up Together by Frank Jungers is a unique account of one man's journey to leadership of the world's largest energy company. Over three decades, Frank Jungers rose from a North Dakota farm boy to become President, Chairman and CEO of Aramco, the petroleum giant responsible for nearly one-quarter of the world's oil resources. Jungers recounts his face-to-face encounters with key Saudi leaders, including King Faisal, and navigated major international crises such as the 1973 Arab-Israeli war, dramatic oil price increases, and the OPEC hostage incident. He also played a crucial role in developing Aramco's Saudi workforce, preparing the company for its eventual transfer of ownership from four American oil majors to the Government of Saudi Arabia. This book offers a fascinating insight into the development of Aramco and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, highlighting their intertwined growth and the significant impact of Aramco on the young nation's infrastructure and economy.
