4 5. Research Output 5.1 Institute for Petroleum and Petrochemicals Research Planned Research and Development Activities: 1. Oxidative dehydrogenation of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) : To develop new catalysts for oxidative dehydrogenation of LPG for conversion to Olefins, which are used as main feedstock in petrochemical industries, under optimum conditions with the aim of utilizing the gas produced in the Kingdom. 2. Oxidative dehydrogenation of Ethane: To develop new catalysts for production of ethylene from ethane by oxidative dehydrogenation process, which is a primary feedstock for a wide range of petrochemical products; and to investigate the optimum conditions for this process. 3. Development of catalysts for hydrocarbons cracking: To develop new catalysts for hydrocarbons cracking in the presence of hydrogen at low temperatures. 4. Production of Olefin-aromatics copolymers: To develop new industrial process for production of copolymer from aromatics, olefins and olefinic acids; 5. Development of metallocene catalysts in polymer synthesis : To develop metallocene catalysts for polymerization of alfa-olefins, which will lead to new type of polymers with new improved characterization; 6. Desulphurization of petroleum fractions using bacteria: To develop new techniques for removing sulfur compounds form petroleum fractions by using special kinds of bacteria; 7. Improvement of oil production methods: Studying of rock and sand mechanics for sand control in production wells in order to improve their performance and economics. 8. Construction of national data base for toxic and hazardous chemical used in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia : To construct a national data base for toxic and hazardous chemical in Arabic Language as a source of reference to chemists and non-chemists working in all the sectors, dealing with these materials; and for the government organizations in the Kingdom to implement the regulations to avoid its hazards. 5.2 Informal S&T structures (Academies, Associations, Professional societies, Research Networks, Journals) 6. Scientific co-operation and agreements KACST, through cooperative agreements with international science and technology institutions/organizations. The cooperative research programs have successfully completed several solar energy research projects, the establishment of a Saudi Center for Remote Sensing, the establishment of national observatory and an aquaculture research station and other projects. KACST has established several national research institutes. Among the institutes are the Institute for Petroleum and Petrochemicals Research, the Institute of Energy Research, the Institute of Natural Resources and Environmental Research, the Institute of Arid Lands Research, the Institute of Astronomy and the Institute of Atomic Energy Research.
5 7. Concluding section Despite the high standard of economic development as measured by GDP per capita income and Human Development Indicators in Saudi Arabia, this country show weak performance in terms of most of S&T input and output indicators. Most R&D and S&T activities are allocated within the public and university sectors, with very small contribution from the private sector. Saudi Arabia does not possess sufficient human resources necessary to promote S&T for development. Hence, they lag behind the rapidly advancing Asian countries in terms of S&T input and output indicators. Saudi Arabia show relative important number of patents (Saudi Arabia) during the last 8 years compared to other Oil monarchies, as it stimulate research investing 0.2% of GNP in R&D.
