            Saudi Arabia has around 80 oil and gas fields (and over 1,000 wells), more than half of its oil reserves
            are  contained  in  only  eight  fields,  including  Ghawar  (the  world's  largest  oil  field,  with  estimated
            remaining  reserves  of  70  billion  barrels)  and  Safaniya  (the  world's  largest  offshore  oilfield,  with
            estimated reserves of 35 billion barrels). Ghawar alone accounts for about half of Saudi Arabia's total
            oil production capacity.


            Saudi Arabia maintains crude oil production capacity of around 10.5-11.0 million bbl/d, and claims that
            it is "easily capable" of producing up to 15 million bbl/d in the future and maintaining that production
            level for 50 years.


            Brent Blend Crude


            This is a major trading classification of sweet light crude oil that serves as a major benchmark price for
            purchases of oil worldwide. Brent Crude is sourced from the North Sea, and comprises Brent Blend,
            Forties Blend, Oseberg and Ekofisk crudes (also known as the BFOE Quotation). The Brent Crude oil

            The other well-known classifications (also called references or benchmarks) are the OPEC Reference
            Basket, Dubai Crude, Oman Crude, and West Texas Intermediate. Brent is the leading global price
            benchmark for Atlantic basin crude oils. It is used to price two thirds of the world's internationally
            traded crude oil supplies.


            West Texas Intermediate Crude


            (WTI) is a light, sweet crude oil commonly referred to as "oil" in the Western world. WTI is the
            underlying commodity of the New York Mercantile Exchange's oil futures contracts.


            WTI is considered “sweet" crude because it is about 0.24% sulfur, a lower concentration than North
            Sea Brent crude. WTI is high quality oil that is easily refined.


            Dubai Crude

            to Asia. The Dubai benchmark is also known as Fateh is used in the United Arab Emirates. Forward
            trade of Dubai Crude is limited to one or two months. It has a gravity of 31° API (specific gravity of
            0.871) and a sulfur content of 2%/weight.
