The Saudi Arabia Oil Industry is the biggest such industry in the world, which can also in other words be called, the highest supplier of liquid gold to the oil-consuming nations of the world. Saudi Arabia oil industry contributes to nearly 13% of the total oil production in the world and therefore, the nation has easily become the most important member among the OPEC nations of the world. It can therefore easily be concluded that Saudi Arabia exercises complete supremacy not just over the oil producing nations of the world, but also in the international oil market. Saudi Arabia's supremacy in the international oil market has given it unchallenged rights to dictate the rules and policies governing the oil market. The nation has been influencing its authority over the international oil market since 1970. Complete authority in negotiating oil prices has kept the Saudi Arabian industry quite stable.
The oil industry is the generator of the highest revenue in the Saudi Arabian economy. Almost 90% of the Saudi Arabian industry depends on the oil treasures of the country. The country lists among one of the most economically developed nations of the world because of its oil industry. Oil exporting prices have led to the Saudi Arabian economy being one of the most developed economies of the world. However, in terms of employment the oil industry has not contributed much towards the development of the Saudi Arabian economy because the oil industry is largely dependent on capital and minimum manual labor is required.
