Brief Introduction

The South Ghawar gas fields comprise several deep, non-associated sweet-gas fields discovered in the 1990s and 2000s. The discoveries resulted from Saudi Aramco's substantial exploration campaign targeting pre-Khuff reservoirs. Saudi Arabian Oil Company (Saudi Aramco) is planning to development the Shale Gas project at South Ghawar in Saudi Arabia.
