Sadaf is 50:50 petrochemicals JV between Sabic and Pecten Arabian Company Ltd, a subsidiary of Shell Oil Company and located in Al Jubail, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

This acquisition will enable Sabic to optimize operations at Sadaf and further invest in the facilities, integrating them with Sabic’s other affiliates.
