Superb detective work, and quite useful !

How many more of these "small" reservoirs are there in KSA ?

(1.8 billion URR is hardly small in most of the world).

However, I suffered a pang with this quote:

IEA reported 26,000 bpd for year 2004

The DC Metro extension to Tyson's Corner and Dulles would have saved 20 to 25,000 b/day if Bush had not killed it a month ago. Federal funding of $900 million denied. Construction would have started last week, helping stimulate the economy.

Harmaliyah is roughly equivalent to the Dulles Extension of DC Metro

Best Hopes for 1/21/2009,

They have 80 or so fields, but at least 25 of those are already in production or offshore. The biggest problem is remoteness and getting the infrastructure there. Harmaliyah was logical because Ghawar is so close and water for injection is available (if that is what they are doing there). The quality of the northern fields is also not well known. I would think they would group several such fields together into one project as they did with Khursaniyah et. al. to share facilities.
