1. Project Background
Saudi Aramco's Jafurah is the largest unconventional (shale) gas play in the Middle East. The field sits in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia and is the linchpin of the kingdom's domestic-gas pivot — replacing oil burned for power generation with gas, freeing up crude for export and petrochemicals.
Public reporting from Aramco and industry press (JPT, MEED, Offshore Technology) puts the field's reserves at approximately 229 trillion cubic feet of raw gas plus 75 billion stock-tank barrels of condensate.
In parallel with Jafurah, Aramco is executing Master Gas System Phase 3 — a country-wide pipeline network expansion designed to move the new gas to demand centres.
