Abstract: 
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is undergoing a significant transformation in its chemical industry as part of its broader commitment to achieving net-zero carbon emissions. This paper explores the integration of sustainability practices within the oil and gas drilling fluid chemical business, highlighting key methodologies and projects that contribute to this goal. By implementing comprehensive life cycle analysis (LCA) methodologies, Saudi Arabia aims to reduce the environmental impact of drilling operations while enhancing economic and operational efficiencies. This study presents an overview of the kingdom's strategic initiatives, projects, and the role of advanced technologies in driving sustainability within the chemical industry.
