Nitaqat Saudization Thresholds — Oil, Gas & Uranium Mining

Four-band Nitaqat thresholds for the Oil, Gas & Uranium Mining sector by headcount

Last updated: 2026-05-01

How Nitaqat works for Oil, Gas & Uranium Mining

This sector uses the Nitaqat Mutawar logarithmic formula:

Required % = MAX(0, m × ln(total_headcount) + c)
