Aramco names new Singapore chief

Saudi Aramco named Mohammed K Al-Mulhim as the new chief of its Singapore branch, Saudi Petroleum Ltd. Al-Mulhim will take the reins at the branch, one of three offices in the region, succeeding Mohammed S Basurrah, who is returning to Aramco’s head office in Dhahran after three years in Singapore. The changing of the guard continues a reshuffle that began in August, when the company announced that Tariq M Al-Mushiri, Saudi Aramco’s regional crude marketing manager looking after the south Asian market, would be leaving his position on August 15.
