Royal Dutch Shell has a long history of strategic planning that has enabled it to anticipate changes in the oil industry and adapt accordingly. The company was founded in the late 19th century by the Samuel brothers who pioneered oil transportation by sea. Through mergers with Royal Dutch Petroleum and other acquisitions, Shell became a global oil giant by the 1920s. However, it faced challenges during the 1930s from nationalizations. More recently, Shell has expanded into alternative fuels and renewable energy to prepare for a future with less dependence on oil. Alternative fuel sources like biomass and hybrid vehicles now present a potential threat to Shell's core oil business if adopted widely.

Block 49 covers an area of 15,439 sq km in the Rub Al Khali Basin and has potential plays identified. Block 52 originally covered 90,760 sq km but was reduced in size; it has shallow water targets identified. Circle Oil is expanding its portfolio to include assets in other countries in the Middle East and Africa in addition to its concessions in Oman.
The document discusses natural gas processing and distribution. It describes how natural gas is formed underground from decomposing organic matter over millions of years. It then discusses how raw natural gas is processed by removing impurities before being distributed through pipelines to end users. The distribution process involves transporting gas through local pipelines at lower pressures to individual consumers. Safety measures are emphasized throughout the distribution process. Biogas is also discussed as a renewable energy that can be produced from organic waste and used similarly to natural gas.
This document provides an overview of level instrumentation applications for natural gas processing. It discusses level measurement and control needs at various stages of natural gas processing including inlet separators, chemical injection, amine separation, sulfur treatment, gas dehydration, NGL recovery, storage tanks, water processing, compression, and more.

- Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc) and Exxon Mobil are looking to invest up to $8 billion to increase production capacity at the Upper Zakum oil field in Abu Dhabi to 1 million barrels per day by 2024. They currently hold stakes of 60% and 28% respectively in the offshore concession.
- Saudi Aramco is considering a potential investment in Equinor's US shale gas operations, which could be its first overseas unconventional gas exploration venture. It is looking to expand its natural gas production and reduce reliance on crude oil sales.
- Iraq signed a $1.07 billion deal with China Petroleum Engineering & Construction Corporation to build facilities to process 300
Mubadala Petroleum, an Abu Dhabi investment fund, made a substantial gas discovery in offshore Malaysia. This was Mubadala's fourth find in the block and together the discoveries represent a significant gas resource that could be commercially developed. Mubadala owns 55% of the block and will work with partners Petronas and Shell to evaluate development options. Additionally, construction of a large urea plant in Saudi Arabia called SAFCO-5 has been delayed until early 2015, pushing back the plant's start up. Iraqi oil exports from southern ports remain near record levels in June despite insurgent violence in northern and central Iraq, which has not impacted the south.
DEWA signs deal with ABB to develop a 277 kW solar power project on ABB's premises in Dubai. The project will connect to DEWA's grid and support Dubai's initiatives to diversify energy generation through solar power. Many Gulf states struggle to meet growing domestic demand for natural gas despite large reserves, as subsidized prices limit foreign investment in gas production and Gulf states increasingly import natural gas. Oman's PDO plans to spend $1.5-2 billion annually exploring for natural gas in its fields.
RasGas Company Limited signed a three-year agreement to supply liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Qatar to E.ON's Isle of Grain terminal in the UK. The contract has the potential to supply up to two billion cubic meters of LNG over its term. E.ON regards Qatar as a priority country in expanding its global LNG business. Qatar currently supplies LNG to 26 of the 29 importing countries and accounts for 33% of global LNG supply. Global LNG demand is expected to double in the next 10 years but new supply projects face challenges that could delay or cancel some projects, keeping the LNG market tight.

3. Natural gas overview
Saudi Arabia has the world's fifth largest natural gas reserves, but natural gas
production remains limited.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is endowed with two major fossil fuel sources,
crude oil and natural gas. Worldwide, gas is the fastest growing energy
source.
Natural Gas-Related Projects: US$50 billion
Reserves of natural gas in ARAMCO-managed fields total 284.8 trillion cubic
feet
4. Reserves
Saudi Arabia (including the Neutral Zone) had proven natural gas reserves of
288 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) at the end of 2012, fifth largest in the world
behind Russia, Iran, Qatar, and the United States, according to EIA estimates.
About 5 Tcf was added in 2012, and over the last decade, Saudi Arabia added
over 60 Tcf of natural gas reserves.
The majority of gas fields in Saudi Arabia are associated with petroleum
deposits, or found in the same wells as the crude oil, and production
increases of this type of gas remain linked to an increase in oil production.
About 57 percent of Saudi Arabia's proven natural gas reserves consists of
associated gas at the giant onshore Ghawar field and the offshore Safaniya
and Zuluf fields. The Ghawar oil field alone accounts for approximately one-
third of the country's proven natural gas reserves. According to Saudi Aramco,
only 15 percent of Saudi Arabia has been "adequately explored for gas."
6. Production and consumption
Saudi Arabia does not import or export natural gas, so all consumption must
be met by domestic production. According to Saudi Aramco forecasts, natural
gas demand in the Kingdom is expected to almost double by 2030 from 2011
levels of 3.5 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) per year.
Rapid reserve development is necessary for Saudi Arabia's plans to fuel the
growth of the petrochemical sector, as well as for power generation and for
water desalination. All current and future gas supplies (except natural gas
liquids) reportedly remain earmarked for domestic use, in part to minimize
the use of crude oil for power generation. However, natural gas production
remains limited, as soaring costs of production, exploration, processing, and
distribution of gas have squeezed supply. OPEC estimates that 13 to 14
percent of total production is lost to venting, flaring, reinjection and natural
processes.
7. Upstream developments and strategy
Although most of its natural gas reserves are from associated gas, Saudi Arabia is
not likely to boost its gas production from associated gas reserves in the near
future because it has completed its recent major oil development phase, and
shifted its attention to natural gas and downstream petroleum activities. To meet
growing domestic needs for additional production, the Petroleum Ministry and
Saudi Aramco announced a $9-billion strategy to add 50 Tcf of non-associated
reserves by 2016 through new discoveries (and potentially another 50 Tcf of
associated reserves).
Saudi Aramco has focused heavily on major offshore gas developments in the
Persian Gulf. Exploration and development will also commence in non-producing
areas such as the Red Sea, northern and western Saudi Arabia, and the Nafud
basin, north of Riyadh. In order to access Saudi Arabia's uconventional gas
resources, Saudi Aramco also launched its Upstream Unconventional Gas program
in 2011.
8. Upstream developments by Saudi Aramco
Saudi Aramco has focused on offshore fields in the Persian Gulf in its current 5-year plan to
expand its natural gas production. Three non-associated gas fields have been targeted:
The Karan gas field, discovered in 2006, is Saudi Arabia's first offshore non-associated gas
development. The Karan field came online in 2011 and is expected to produce 1.8 billion
cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of sour gas that will be delivered via a 110-kilometer subsea
pipeline to the Khursaniyah Gas Plant.
The 1.2 Bcf/d Arabiyah gas field is expected online within 5 years.
The 1.3 Bcf/d Hasbah gas field is expected online within 5 years.
The Arabiyah and Hasbah fields are believed to contain high-sulfur natural gas that will be
processed at the Khursaniyah gas plant. The high sulfur levels of these gases, as well as the
offshore location, will make them relatively expensive to develop.
In response to these new upstream developments, a major expansion of natural gas and
natural gas liquids processing capacity from 9.3 Bcf/d to 12.5 Bcf/d is underway at
Khursaniyah, Hawiyah, Ju'aymah, Yanbu, and Khurais to process increases in production.
Saudi Arabia is also building a 2.5 Bcf/d Wasit Gas Plant, which will be one of the largest gas
plants Saudi Aramco has ever built. It has a target completion date set at mid-2014. This
plant will receive gas from the Arabiyah and Hasbah fields
9. Upstream activities in contested regions
Plans to develop the offshore Dorra field (located in the uncontested Saudi-
Kuwait Neutral Zone) jointly with Kuwait have met with opposition because a
small portion of that field is also claimed by Iran, who refers to it as the Arash
field. In addition, some of the maritime borders with Kuwait and Iran remain
un-demarcated. Saudi Arabia reached an agreement with Kuwait in July 2000
to share Dorra output equally. According to Saudi Aramco, the field is
estimated to contain non-associated natural gas reserves of between 35 and
60 Tcf, and the field is under seismic study. The Kuwaiti Ministry of Oil has
reported that the goal is to initially produce 600 million cubic feet per day
(MMcf/d) from Dorra.
10. Processing
Saudi Aramco operates the world's largest oil processing facility and crude
stabilization plant in the world at Abqaiq, in eastern Saudi Arabia, with a crude
processing capacity of more than 7 million bbl/d. The plant processes the
majority of Arab Extra Light and Arab Light crude oils, as well as NGL. The
facility's infrastructure includes pumping stations, gas-oil separation plants
(GOSPs), hydro-desulphurization units, and an extensive network of pipelines
that connects the plant to the ports of Ras al-Juaymah, Ras Tanura, and Yanbu
(for NGL). Nearly two-thirds of Saudi crude is processed at Abqaiq before export
or delivery to refineries.
11. activities in the empty quarter (Rub al-
Khali)
The Saudi domestic natural gas market, traditionally the sole domain of Saudi Aramco, is slowly
being opened to private investment both in exploration and distribution, and increasing
competition in the market. The backbone of the non-associated gas exploration strategy relies on
foreign consortiums exploring for onshore gas and condensate (natural gas liquids) in the Rub al-
Khali, which encompasses most of the southern third of Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia has four upstream joint ventures in the Empty Quarter:
South Rub al-Khali Company or SRAK (a venture of Saudi Aramco and Royal Dutch Shell)
Luksar Energy Limited (a venture of Saudi Aramco and Lukoil)
Sino Saudi Gas Limited (a venture of Saudi Aramco and Sinopec)
EniRepSa Gas Limited (a consortium of Saudi Aramco, Eni, and Repsol-YPF)
To date, these ventures have not made significant commercial discoveries, in part because
development costs would be far higher than Saudi Arabia's official domestic gas price. SRAK
received approval for an appraisal program for the Kidan sour gas field, which holds about 7 Tcf
of high sulfur gas.
12. Domestic gas pipelines
Domestic demand for natural gas, particularly the delivery feedstock to
petrochemical plants, has driven consistent expansion of the Master Gas
System (MGS), the domestic gas distribution network in Saudi Arabia first built
in 1975. Prior to the MGS, all of Saudi Arabia's natural gas output was flared.
The MGS feeds gas to the industrial cities including Yanbu on the Red Sea and
Jubail.
In order to feed the expanded gas processing facilities, several additions to
the MGS are in the planning or construction phases. The largest pipeline to be
built is the 132-mile conduit to the Rabigh complex and the Yanbu NGL
processing facility. Installation of four other pipelines will connect Manifa to
KGP and Ras az-Zour for gas processing and raw power production. These
additions are a part of a broader expansion of the existing gas transmission
system in Saudi Arabia, reportedly to include the construction of around 1,200
miles of additional natural gas pipeline capacity.
13. Energy Consumption
Saudi Arabia is the largest consumer of petroleum in the Middle East, particularly
in the area of transportation fuels and direct burn for power generation.
Domestic consumption growth has been spurred by the economic boom as a
result of historically high oil prices and large fuel subsidies. Saudi Arabia was the
world's 13th largest consumer of total primary energy in 2009, of which about 60
percent was petroleum-based, with natural gas accounting for most of the rest.
Saudi Arabia has set a goal of producing almost half of its power from renewable
fuels by 2020 in order to meet domestic power needs and to free up oil and
natural gas for export. Saudi Aramco's CEO Khalid al-Falih warned that rising
domestic energy consumption could result in the loss of 3 million barrels per day
(bbl/d) of crude oil exports by the end of the decade if no changes were made to
current trends. In the interim, Saudi Arabia is participating in the Gulf
Cooperation Council's efforts to link the power grids of member countries to
reduce shortages during peak power periods.
14. Production
Saudi Arabia produced on average 11.6 million bbl/d of total petroleum
liquids in 2012. In addition to 9.8 million bbl/d of crude oil, Saudi Arabia
produced 1.8 million bbl/d of natural gas liquids (NGL) and other liquids.
Saudi Arabia, a leading world producer of NGL, has experienced a rise in
demand for NGL from developing countries, including India (the leading
export destination), where it is used for cooking and transportation.
Saudi Arabia maintains the world's largest crude oil production capacity,
estimated at a little less than 12 million bbl/d at the end of 2012 (other
petroleum liquids, which are not subject to OPEC quotas or production
targets, are produced at full capacity). Saudi Arabia's long-term goal is to
further develop its lighter crude oil potential. Although the Ministry has not
committed to increasing capacity, potential increases to 15 million bbl/d
capacity were discussed at a summit in Jeddah in June 2008.
