In the Eastern Province, the Al-Ladam unconventional oil field was found after the Ladam-2 well began producing very light Arabian oil at a rate of 5,100 barrels per day, along with around 4.9 million standard cubic feet of natural gas per day.

- After the Mazaleej-62 well began producing Arab light oil at a rate of 1,780 bpd and gas at a rate of around 0.7 mscf/d, the Unayza B/C reservoir was also found in the Mazaleej field in the Eastern Province.
- At a rate of 5.3 million standard cubic feet per day from the Al-Arab-C reservoir in the Al-Jahaq-1 well and 1.1 million standard cubic feet per day from the Al-Arab-C reservoir in the same well, the minister announced that the Al-Jahaq natural gas field had been found in the Empty Quarter.

- The huge finds were praised by Prince Abdulaziz as an act of Allah Almighty. He gave thanks to God, which He had received as a blessing.
