Saudi Arabia continues to gain momentum towards achieving its Vision 2030 objectives with a particular focus on the energy market for the month of February 2020.
The Kingdom is also pursuing the implementation of several reforms to create a promising regulatory environment and propose new business models for investors across all sectors, including the untapped ones.
Perhaps the major event to start with is the announcement of oil giant Saudi Aramco receiving regulatory approval for the development of Jafurah unconventional gas field in the Eastern Province, paving the way for boosting the Kingdom’s position to become the world’s third gas producer by 2030.
Before moving to Argaam’s review of key events that took place in February, the growing fears of the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) reached Saudi Arabia, which proactively took a list of precautionary measures to safeguard its citizens and visitors.

The field’s production is set to commence early 2024, and reach nearly 2.2 billion standard cubic feet per day of sales gas by 2036, with an associated 425 million SCFD of ethane, representing nearly 40% of current production. It is also forecast to produce almost 550,000 barrels per day of gas liquids and condensates, the oil giant said.
The field would provide the Saudi government with an annual net income of SAR 32 billion ($8.6 billion) over 22 years, said Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman.
