Advisory boutique Moelis & Co has been chosen as the sole independent adviser to Saudi Arabia’s giant state-owned oil and gas company on its planned listing, according to a person familiar with the matter.

The deal, which market speculation suggests could value the company at $2 trillion, is likely to see 5% of Aramco’s shares offered, Saudi Arabia’s deputy crown prince has said previously.
