The new fields are located in the Kingdom’s North
Saudi Aramco has recently discovered two new oil and gas fields in the north of the Kingdom, the Energy Minister announced, according to the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA).
A gas field called ‘Hadbat Al-Hajarah’ was discovered in the Al-Jouf region and an oil and gas field called ‘Abraq Al-Tuloul’ was discovered in the Northern Borders region, close to Jordan, the Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdul Aziz Bin Salman confirmed.
Gas from the Al-Sara reservoir at the Hadbat Al-Hajarah field, east of Sakaka, flows at a rate of 16mn standard cubic feet per day. It also produces 1,944 barrels of condensate.
Arab Light crude oil flows from the Al-Sharurah reservoir in the Abraq Al-Tuloul field, which lies to the south east of the northern city of Arar, at a rate of 3,189 barrels per day. The reservoir also produces 1.1mn cubic feet of natural gas per day.
Al-Qawwarah, another gas reservoir in the same field, produces 2.4mn cubic feet of natural gas and 49 barrels of condensate per day.
The Minister added that Aramco would continue to work on assessing the quantities of oil, gas and condensate in the two fields, in addition to digging more wells to determine their area and size.
