Aramco (tha Aram stands for Arab *American*) is a major source of our business, in fact if you work in the oil industry it's hard to avoid travelling to the middle east, and given some of the things that have happened to foreigners even in Saudi Arabia I'm inclined to think the only safe part of that area is well inside Israeli borders.
