Saudi Arabia is the world’s largest producer and exporter of oil, and has one quarter of the world’s known oil reserves – more than 260 billion barrels. Most are located in the Eastern Province, including the largest onshore field in Ghawar and the largest offshore field at Safaniya in the Arabian Gulf.
Saudi refineries produce around 8 million barrels of oil per day, and there are plans to increase production to around 12 million barrels per day.
