I read this excellent article the other day while I was preparing The Saudis Are Blowing Smoke Again.

I would have cited it, but my focus was not on details of the new fields scheduled to come on-stream.

It's a pity that we don't know more than we do. All we do know was summarized by you. Good job.

Will Khurais achieve 1.2 million b/d? I'll take a wait & see attitude, although we'll never really know, will we? The Saudis won't ever tell us how the field is performing.

"Will Khurais achieve 1.2 million b/d?"

as you say, wait and see.
otoh, there is really no reason why it couldn't, given a field 620 sq miles with 168 horizontal producers, 125 injectors and an injection rate of 2 million bwpd.
i get the feeling that this is to the saudi's as the arctic is to bp, they havent developed it because they havent needed to (that damn waterflooding is such a lot of work).
