Saudi Arabia announced on Sunday the discovery of two important oil and gas fields, north of the country, in a move that would increase the flow of oil and gas and raise the country’s capabilities in forming a large stock of energy.
A gas field called Hadabat Al-Hajarah was discovered in al-Jawf region and an oil and gas field called Abraq al-Toloul was found in the Northern Borders region, Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman announced in a statement.
The minister said the new Abraq al-Toloul oil field, which lies to the south east of the northern city of Arar, flows with a daily rate of 3,189 barrels per day (bpd) of Arab light crude oil, along with 3.5 million cubic feet of natural gas.
Hadabat al Hajara gas field in al-Jawf region has a daily production rate of 16 million cubic feet of natural gas, along with 1944 bpd of oil condensate, according to the minister.
He noted that Aramco would carry on with its efforts to estimate the total amount of oil and gas in the two fields and was drilling more wells to determine their areas and capacities.
