In Saudi Arabia
What is required in Dammam
Dammam and the Eastern Province run on decades of historian data, control systems and maintenance records that were never designed to be joined, with energy and petrochemical operations at the centre.
Authority
NDMO
Obligation
Data catalogue, ownership and classification across every domain.
Stays in-country
the lakehouse and every derived table
Process data is read through a controlled boundary between OT and IT, and nothing built here reaches back into a control system.
A worked Saudi example
a reliability engineer at an Eastern Province plant relies on this to get a catalogued pipeline with a named owner per domain, with the lakehouse and every derived table staying inside Saudi Arabia.
