I don't get who would even want to purchase a stake in ARAMCO by now. Oil is just set for a long painfully slow decline, and unlike some other oil companies that are preparing for this decline by investing in other areas, ARAMCO is still just as reliant on oil as Saudi-Arabia's economy...

They have deposits to sustain their economy for another century. The problem is that they never prepared for post-oil glut from the West and oil sufficiency from Asian giants. 

Everything is happening at a fast pace when shale oil technology is rapdly evolving and spreading worldwide.

... If the world continues to be reliant on [Saudi] oil. Which it won't, in two ways. One of which, as you are saying is that other countries are increasing their own production, the other being a switch that has just about begun, but which will bring about a massive change in the next five to ten years, especially in western countries.
