This significant edition opens by marking the passing of King Abdulaziz Ibn Saud on 9 Nov 1953, which "all employees of the Company joined in mourning". There is also a poem in Arabic to the centre pages. Davies is encouraged by King Saud's "keen interest" in the company, which led it to increase wages for all Saudi employees by 12-20% effective from 1 Jan 1954, and improve benefits in education, housing, food, clothing and vacations. Davies offers "renewed assurance" to the new King and the Saudi people that Aramco "will continue the development of the oil resources of the Kingdom along sound engineering and business principles, and in a manner that will contribute to the best interests of all concerned" (pp2-3). The report also celebrates 20 years of growth and achievement with an article describing significant events since signing the Concession in 1933. The main chapters cover oil operations (exploration, drilling, producing, oil and gas, plants and pipeline, refining, marketing, engineering, transport etc); people (wages, housing, recreation, safety, The Oil Caravan magazine, employees with long service, thrift plans, manpower); health; industrial training; and community, industrial and agricultural development (new towns, and the Railway the management and supervision of which Aramco transferred to the Government on 1 Jan 1953).

Hardy and Davies report on slightly increased production with demand expected to rise, with major projects including the offshore Safaniya and Manifa Fields, Khurai, and Fazran, with additions to the tanker terminal at Ras Tanura. Pay and benefits improved for Saudi workers: the working week reduced to 42 hours allowing for more leisure time. The Riyal payroll (for local staff) increased. And benefits amounted to almost as much as pay. Of Aramco's 17,171 employees, 70% were Saudi Arabs, who advanced into higher jobs previously held by foreign employees.
