Saudi Aramco, the world’s largest oil-exporting company, has discovered a number of new natural gas fields in different regions of the country, according to the state-run Saudi Press Agency (SPA).
The new gas fields were discovered in the central region, the Empty Quarter, near the northern border and in the eastern region of the country, the SPA reported on Sunday, citing the kingdom’s Minister of Energy, Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman.
A natural gasfield named Shaun was discovered in the central region with a gas flow rate of 27 million standard cubic feet per day and 3,300 barrels of condensate. The field is located 180 kilometres south-east of Riyadh, it said.
