“…The produced gas is principally used to fuel electrical power generation plants and as feedstock for the petrochemical industry. Currently, the domestic gas production feeds 2/3 to the power generation sector, and 1/3 of the gas production is sold to the petrochemical industry [2].…”

“…Given that the world's regional gas markets are currently awash with relatively cheap liquefied natural gas (LNG) [5], a reconnaissance study by investigators at the King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center (KAPSARC) has used a World Gas Model to explore whether LNG imports could possibly complement and support other policies and gas development initiatives in the Kingdom [2,6].…”

“…The analysis included a cost comparison between a floating storage with regasification unit, and an onshore terminal located in the port of Jeddah. Based on the model assumptions, the projected price for Saudi Arabia of natural gas imports from LNG supply sources abroad would-under the base case scenario-range between USD 7.3/MMBtu in 2023 and around USD 9.5/MMBtu~(Mcf) in 2035 [2,6]. Under the 30 bcm (1.06 Tcf) high supply deficit case scenario, the cost for Saudi gas supply from remote LNG sources could reach around USD 10/MMBtu in 2035.…”

Workflow for Probabilistic Resource Estimation: Jafurah Basin Case Study (Saudi Arabia)

2021

This study provides a workflow and preliminary estimations of the estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) volumes for natural gas and condensate liquids in the Tuwaiq Mountain Formation, the principal target in the Jafurah Field development project in Saudi Arabia. The strategic need for the field development is reviewed and the field characteristics are outlined based on public data sources complemented with data from analogous reservoirs. The target zone in the Jafurah Basin is a carbonaceous shale, being developed with up to 10,000-ft-long multistage-fractured laterals with 30 ft perforation cluster spacing and an assumed typical 1250 ft well spacing. The field will come on stream in 2024, when the gas-gathering pipeline system, natural gas processing plant, and underground gas storage facilities will all be in place. The range of uncertainties in the key reservoir parameters is taken into account to estimate preliminary EUR volumes (P90, P50, and P10) for both gas and condensates. Based on the present and prior EUR estimations, it can be concluded that the Jafurah Basin comprises one of the largest unconventional field development projects outside of North America.

The discoveries of sizeable gas resources in the Eastern Mediterranean have raised expectations in Europe for two main reasons: the possibility of enhancing Europe’s energy security by way of an additional source of supply; and the possibility that the development of these resources could trigger political stability in a volatile section of the EU neighborhood. This chapter will explore the opportunities for Europe and the technical, commercial, and political obstacles with Eastern Mediterranean energy resources, arguing that despite the potential, Eastern Mediterranean resources are no game changer for the EU’s energy security, and that regional stability remains a precondition to their development rather than an outcome of it.
