On February 25, Saudi Arabia's Energy Minister, Abdulaziz bin Salman, announced that the state-owned oil company, Saudi Aramco, has discovered additional reserves in the Jafurah field, comprising 15 trillion standard cubic feet of natural gas and 2 billion barrels of condensate.
該油田的天然氣儲量已達到229兆立方英尺,凝析油儲量達到750億桶。該油田面積17000平方公里(長170公里,寬100公里),被認為是沙特已發現的最大的非常規油田,非常規資源是指需要特殊提取方法的資源。
The anticipated natural gas production from Jafurah is projected to increase from 200 million standard cubic feet of shale gas per day in 2025 to 2 billion standard cubic feet per day by 2030. This includes an estimated ethane production of 418 million standard cubic feet per day and a liquefied petroleum gas production of around 630,000 barrels per day.
Saudi Aramco, the state-owned oil giant, is spearheading the development of the Jafurah field, with a substantial investment of 412 billion Saudi riyals (approximately 110 billion USD).
