Saudi Aramco Orders Remaining Dhahran Headquarters Staff to Leave

Saudi Aramco instructed employees who remained at its Dhahran headquarters to leave the complex and work remotely Thursday, Oct. 22, after much of the workforce had already moved off site.

Dhahran is in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province, a center of the kingdom’s oil industry. The instruction followed a reported missile incident at the headquarters and came after the company’s earlier move to remote work for Dhahran staff. No specific reason was given for Thursday’s order.
