ALKHOBAR: Saudi Aramco's senior vice president for technical services Khalid Al-Buainain has left the company, industry sources said.
Ahmad Al-Sa'adi will take over Al-Buainain's role in the company as acting head for technical services until the end of August this year.
Al-Buainain took early retirement for personal reasons and his departure took effect on Sunday. He joined Aramco in 1980 and has held several senior positions.
A company spokesperson declined to comment.
In addition to his role as senior vice president for technical services, he was also chairman of PetroRabigh, a joint venture between Aramco and Japan's Sumitomo Chemical. PetroRabigh said in a statement on Wednesday it had appointed Abdulaziz Al-Judaimi as chaiman of the company following the resignation of Al-Buainain.
