In Saudi Arabia
What is required in Jubail
Jubail is the world's largest industrial city, home to SABIC petrochemicals and Royal Commission digitalisation, where safety and process data outrank customer analytics in priority.
Authority
NDMO
Obligation
Data catalogue, ownership and classification across every domain.
Stays in-country
the lakehouse and every derived table
Operational technology data is read through a controlled boundary and never written back into a control system, matching the same rule applied across the Eastern Province.
A worked Saudi example
a process-safety team at a Jubail petrochemical 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.
