Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Gas production from an Aramco shale gas project is set to begin in 2017. The Dhahran-based company completed shale gas wells in 2011 in the Jawf and Northern Borders Provinces, as well as areas near Midyan Field and Jalamid Field. One of the wells, #3-Jalamid, produced 12.1 MMcf/d of gas during preliminary tests. According to Aramco, Midyan alone could produce 75 MMcf/d of non-associated gas and 4.5 Mbbl/d of oil per day with condensates. Aramco expects that the Jalamid Field will furnish approximately 197.8 MMcf/d to the Wa'ad Al-Shamal phosphate complex in Tareef Province by 2018.
