Saudi Arabia’s Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman has announced the discovery of two new natural gas fields in the Kingdom.
Two new natural gas fields have been found in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, according to the energy minister.
One of the fields was found 142 kilometers south-west of Hofuf, and the other was located 230 kilometers south-west of Dhahran.
According to Saudi Arabia’s Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, “the relevance of these finds lies in enhancing the kingdom’s natural gas reserves, which helps to supporting the kingdom’s plans and realizing the aims of the liquid fuel displacement program.”
