DUBAI- Dubai's Emirates National Oil Company (ENOC) said on Monday it plans to open 45 new service stations in Saudi Arabia over the next five years.

Over the next two years, it will open stations in the Central Region, mainly Riyadh and the Eastern province, it said.

ENOC said the plan would support the kingdom's aim to open 1,200 more petrol stations.
