According to the minister, the Al-Jabu-1 well was producing a relatively light Arabian oil flow of 800 barrels per day when it was found in the Eastern Region.
The discovery of the Sayahid oil field came after the Sayahid-2 well started producing 630 bpd of light Arabian oil.
Furthermore, the Aifan oil field was found following the discovery of a relatively light Arabian oil flow of 2,840 barrels per day in the Aifan-2 well, together with around 0.44 million standard cubic feet of natural gas per day.

The (Al-Jubailah) oil reservoir was found in the (Al-Bari) field following the discovery of (520) barrels per day of light Arabian oil flowing through the (Al-Bari-907) well, together with approximately (0.2) million standard cubic feet of natural gas.
Also, in the Mazalej field, the Unaizah-A reservoir was discovered after producing 1,011 barrels of high-quality light Arabian oil and about 0.92 million standard cubic feet of gas from Well Mazalej-64 each day.
In the Empty Quarter, the (Nuwair) oil field was found following the flow of medium Arabian oil in the (Nuwair-1) well at a rate of 1800 barrels per day, along with approximately 0.55 million standard cubic feet of natural gas.
Additionally, the (Al-Dhamda) oil field was found following the flow of medium Arabian oil from the (Al-Dhamda-1) well in the (Mishrif-C) reservoir at a rate of 200 barrels per day, and very light Arabian oil also flowed from the (Mishrif-D) reservoir in the same well at a rate of 115 barrels per day.

Last but not least, the Minister of Energy remarked that these findings are an important step in maintaining the kingdom's status as a world leader in power.
The kingdom's abundant hydrocarbon resources demonstrate its potential for future economic growth and its ability to responsibly and efficiently meet energy demands both domestically and internationally.
If everything proceeds as planned, these findings will assist the kingdom in fulfilling its ambitious objectives of optimizing its resources and enhancing global energy security, as outlined in Saudi Vision 2030. Join Saudi Expatriates 1 Million family on Facebook
