Lithium Goals
VIDEO: Discover how we help support the exploration of lithium in the Kingdom
By leveraging our extensive geoscience data, digital capabilities, and subsurface knowledge, we help the Kingdom meet the Kingdom’s projected demand.
What opportunities lie beneath the Kingdom’s vast landscapes?
We're partnering with Ma'aden to change the future of energy.
Through our strategic partnership with Ma’aden, we will unlock opportunities aimed at responsibly exploring and developing lithium amongst other transition minerals.
Through our subsurface exploration and production activities, we’ve identified several areas with a high lithium concentration in oilfield brines of up to 400 parts per million.
Our collaboration with Ma’aden combines decades of expertise in geoscience data, digital capabilities, and subsurface knowledge, allowing us to accelerate the unlocking of mineral potential.
With a field-scale pilot set to begin in 2025 and commercial production by 2027, this partnership could meet and exceed the Kingdom’s projected lithium demand by 2030.
Our unique approach focuses on lithium concentrations in oilfield brines, leveraging the drilling know-how and technologies we’ve mastered over 90 years. Through this technique, combined with our expertise in subsurface exploration, data analytics, and AI-enabled solutions, we intend to achieve a more sustainable advantage while keeping costs efficient.
As the world moves toward more renewable energy and electric mobility, energy transition minerals like lithium are important for powering the future.
With direct access to resources, an existing infrastructure network, and extensive geological expertise, this partnership marks a significant step forward in exploring the Kingdom's potential and supporting its journey toward new exploration frontiers and commercial production of lithium.
