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
Fifteen governance domains, each with owners, policies and measurable maturity.
Stays in-country
the processing register and every lineage record
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 live processing register the client's own tooling keeps updating, with the processing register and every lineage record staying inside Saudi Arabia.
