Aramco is one of the biggest energy and chemicals companies in the world; they are also one of the major players when it comes to daily oil production. In fact, Aramco’s crude oil reserves are considered the biggest (confirmed) in the world. Why should these things matter? Well, it means that whatever fuel Aramco supplies to its stations and sells to customers is 100 percent produced by them.

The petroleum giant had been teasing an entry into the Philippine market, especially after its most recent 25 percent acquisition of the Unioil fuel company. Aramco, however, has chosen to come in on its own and has just officially opened its very first Philippine gas station location in Sucat, Paranaque. This is just the first step in a long journey for Aramco in the Philippines, with a promise of long-term commitment to keep expanding; in fact, there are already a few confirmed locations on EDSA, Quezon Avenue, and even along NLEX.

One of the major distinguishing factors about Aramco’s fuel stations will be the full-service aspect; not only will you be able to gas up your vehicle, but Express Care mechanics will also be on site for any required repair services. Also part of the Aramco portfolio is the historic lubricant Valvoline, which will be offered across all stations nationwide as well.

When it comes to fuel quality, Aramco is one of the best in the business. Headlining their local fuel lineup is the ProForce branded fuel, which they say is a premium quality product that promises to improve engine response and extend engine life through regular use. Some of the key highlights that ProForce tackles are engine protection, reduction of harmful engine deposits, and improved power and acceleration.
