This document discusses the oil and gas prospects in the Yemeni sector of the Rub al Khali Basin in Saudi Arabia based on a new analysis. The analysis considers the geological history of the area, neotectonic movement, new crust movement, and satellite images from 1994-1997. It identifies four types of faults visible in the images and concludes that a new rift phase is occurring with NE-SW normal faults and NW-SE thrust faults resulting from regional stress patterns. It recommends further study of the area focused on two coordinates, as natural asphalt seen in the images could indicate new oil and gas discoveries.

The document describes a study evaluating methods for communicating intent between autonomous vehicles and pedestrians. Researchers have developed prototypes for vehicle intent displays and are conducting an experiment to test their effectiveness. Pedestrians in the experiment will be observed making decisions about when to cross in front of an approaching vehicle both with and without the intent displays. The results will be used to develop a model of reciprocal intent between autonomous systems and humans to inform future interface design.
The document discusses the geological research history work in Yemen over four stages from 1852 to the present. The first stage from 1852-1901 is called the First Systematic Geological Observation Stage or Carter's Stage. The second stage from 1902-1946 is called the Hinterland Studies Stage. The third stage from 1947-1967 is called the First Systematic More Detailed Stratigraphic and Geological Studies Stage or Beydoun, Z.R.'s Stage. The fourth stage from 1968 to present is called the Yemeni Geologists Stage. For each stage, the document states that anyone writing about that stage must discuss the most famous geologists and their works, scientific expeditions and their works, and companies and their works

The document discusses the geological research history of Yemen. It presents a new classification that divides the history into four stages. It suggests that documenting the first geologists to work in Yemen and their contributions could be the basis for an informative book. The classification system and a table of lithostratigraphic units are presented as providing a framework for understanding Yemen's geological evolution and addressing inconsistencies in past studies. Mapping of eastern Yemen revealed structures with oil and gas potential. New modeling methods are proposed to aid geological studies. Recommendations include further documentation and research on key periods and locations to advance knowledge of Yemen's geology.
- Ziad Rafiq Beydoun was a renowned Lebanese geologist who spent much of his career studying the geology of Yemen. He is considered one of the most important eastern geologists and played a major role in Yemen's geological research history.
- Beydoun had a prolific career studying and publishing on the geology of the Middle East. He worked for oil companies, universities, and international organizations. He produced over 50 publications and books on the geology and hydrocarbon potential of Yemen and the region.
- The author proposes making a documentary film about Beydoun's life and work to educate others on his significant contributions to understanding Yemen's geology and boosting future oil and gas exploration.

1) Masila Block 14 is very important to Nexen as approximately 44% of Nexen's oil production and one third of its cash flow comes from there. Nexen has a 52% working interest in the block and the fields there contain over 1 billion barrels of reserves.
2) The study focuses on the reservoir rocks of the Qishn Formation, which contains around 90% of Masila's reserves. The Upper Qishn Member represents shoreline and shelf deposits and is the main producing zone.
3) The aim of the study is to provide a better understanding of the geology and petroleum system of the Qishn Formation in Masila Block 14 through analysis of subsurface data from 93 wells
ABSTRACT:
This paper is the first paper, which discusses the geological research history work in the Republic of Yemen during the period from 1947 to 1967. And it\'s also the second paper after my first paper on the period from 1852 to 1946 (See Yemen Times newspaper. Issue 2-January 10th through January 16 2000, Vol. IX, Culture Page). The geological research work history in the Republic of Yemen is a brief rich culture history, included information about the first and most famous Geologists.
This document provides information about Dr. Eng. Mohammed Darsi Abdulrahman Nedham, including his curriculum vitae, LinkedIn profile, publications, and areas of expertise. He is a Yemeni geologist and member of the Petroleum Exploration and Production Authority in Yemen. The document contains links to profiles, publications, and mentions of Dr. Nedham on academic and professional networking platforms such as Academia.edu, ResearchGate, and LinkedIn.
The document summarizes the petroleum resources of Yemen. It outlines that Yemen has significant oil and natural gas reserves, with proven oil reserves of 4 billion barrels and natural gas reserves of 16.9 trillion cubic feet. The majority of reserves are located in two basins - the Sab'atayn Basin in the north and the Say'un Al-Masila Basin in the south. Key producing regions and blocks within these basins are discussed, along with production levels and operating companies. The main productive formations and their characteristics are also summarized.
The document describes Mohammed Darsi Abdulrahman Nedham's invention of a portable tin modeling set for teaching geology. The invention was conceived in Russia, registered in Yemen, and defended for his PhD in China. The portable tin allows students to easily construct geological models and sections without expensive equipment. Nedham believes the invention will find widespread applications in geology education. He has worked as a petroleum engineer and geologist in Yemen and received advanced degrees from universities in Russia and China.
Geothermal energy provides a renewable source of energy that can meet human needs for millions of years. Yemen has good potential for geothermal reservoirs in areas like Sana'a, Shabwah, and Damar. Developing geothermal power plants could increase Yemen's energy self-sufficiency and satisfy its energy needs in a renewable way. Geothermal energy comes from heat in the Earth's crust generated from radioactive decay and volcanic activity. It can be used to generate electricity by pumping fluid into the Earth to power turbines, or directly for heating via underground pipes. Many countries already utilize geothermal energy successfully.
This is the first work, which introduce a new look to the Yemeni Geology. My interest in the Yemeni geology
started in 1987, when I wrote my first geological and technical report on Al-Kharg well, drilled in Al-Jawf Marib
Shabwa basin (Moscow, 1987; (Unpublished)). And my work on the former South Yemen regional geology
(Moscow, 1990; (Unpublished)) as a result of my fieldwork visits to the above-mentioned area.
During my work in the Republic of Yemen, (the research study area), for 8 years (1992-1999), I collected variably
detailed information of hundreds publications references on the pervious and the present geological activities in
Yemen for the period from 1852 until Today. That work led to the first classification and division for what I called the
Geological Research History Work (G.R.H.W) of the Republic of Yemen.
At the same time, I was highly interested in the whole pervious and present stratigraphic research related to the
Yemeni Lithostratigraphic Units and Nomenclature, because stratigraphic research pursued by different organizations,
companies and groups on different and indipendent lines was on the point of leading to choas. Studing a huge material
and data related to the pervious and the present geological activities in Yemen; such as final reports on geological
survey, different kinds of geophisical works, wells data (for more than 210 wells drilled in different area of the
republic of Yemen, where most of those wells located in the north-northeastern, east and south-southeastern part of
the Republic of Yemen(~75% of Yemeni sedimentary cover located in this area)), dry and wet sample analysis, well
site geologist geological descriptions, background gas indicatores, drillig results, log interpretations, core analysis, well
completion reports, lithostratigraphic units history (first time publication of the unit, its current meaning and definition),
lithostratigraphic and biostratigraphic description and indication of age; This research study work led at the beginning
to my work done on diferent geological wells data tables, geological well sections, correlation between wells (local
and regional), different kind of geological maps for spesific areas (this happened during my work in the Adeni Branch
of the Ministry of Oil and Mineral Resources) and led also to the first table on the whole Yemen Lithostratigraphic
Units and Nomenclture; my mapping and modelling to the whole eastern part of Yemen with the adjacent areas (this
happened during my research study work in Jilin University). This work is an extent to the great work done by many
4
interested geologists, scientific expeditions, organizations, local and forieghn companies, variably detailed information
of hundreds publications and references on the Yemeni geology.
The Yemeni Lithostratigraphic Units and Nomenclature table is projected to be a kind of huge encyclopedia. The
new thing is that names of all Yemeni lithostratigraphic units are presented in the above mentioned table in
accordance to their proven and high checked geological age. It is the first electronic and attributed table. Just point
your Computer mouse on the red triangle located on the right-upper corner of an interested lithostratigraphic units and
you are going to receive a brief geological information about it, especially in which Yemeni basins penetrated (Basin
name, It’s lithology, description and age).
The most important thing that this table led to my new explanation to the anomaly in the Yemeni
Lithostratigraphic Units and Nomenclature, having the same geological time line (the same age), by relating such
anomaly to the geological history of the area, especially the anomaly in tectonic activities and the process of
sedimentation; this table also gave me the right to suggest a new subdivision to the Yemeni Paleozoic sediments, into
two new depositional sequences, i.e. from young to old:

Yemeni-Chinese bilateral ties have forever been
dynamic and vibrant
Posted in: Opinions

It is well-known that Yemen and China have always enjoyed a close relationship,
especially in the areas of trade and education. The history of this great economic and
political relationship goes back a long way, with sources mentioning a Chinese
presence in Yemen as early as the sixth century as they brought silk and pottery from
over land and sea, yet it has deepened even further
over the past five years.
During the tenth century Aden was an important
gateway to China. In the fifteenth century, Captain
Jenkh Kha visited Aden three times, and Yemeni
rulers also sent missionaries to China. The People's
Republic of China, founded on October 1, 1949, has
preserved the Yemeni-Chinese relationship. The
Yemeni-Chinese diplomatic relationship started in
1956.
On October 6, 1962, China recognized the Yemeni
Republican regime after the revolution on
September 26. The Chinese mission which was in Yemen before the revolution turned
2. into an embassy early the following year. China supported the Yemeni revolution
during the days of the blockade of Sana'a, declaring that the people and government
of China supported the people and government of Yemen, in their struggle to preserve
national sovereignty and independence. It is clear that this continuous development in
Yemen-China relations is due to Chinese policies.
As mentioned above, the Yemeni-Chinese diplomatic relationship started in 1956.
Since the establishment of diplomatic relations 49 years ago, the Yemeni-Chinese
relationship has developed smoothly.
Chinese workers in Yemen always receive a warm welcome everywhere they go by
the Yemeni people and authorities. In Sana'a, Aden or Taiz, in almost every Yemeni
market, you can buy something Chinese - cloth, rice, radios and cooking pots. In
recent years, our two countries have continuously strengthened mutual political trust,
gathered momentum in economic cooperation and trade, and witnessed rapid progress
in other fields such as international affairs.
So, if we are going to look deeply into Yemeni-Chinese relations, we find that
they rest on the following:
1. Mutual understanding.
2. A great reservoir of mutual goodwill.
3. Understanding across the whole range of issues - bilateral, regional and global.
1. The primary objectives of any visits from either side at a high political level are:
a. To further strengthen friendship.
b. To strengthen and expand trade and cooperation
c. To continue the process of ongoing consultations on matters of mutual interest
2. To discuss common perspectives and aspirations
3. To share views right across the board on issues which interest both sides.
What does China mean to Yemen and vice-versa? Based on my simple reading,
knowledge and research on the Yemeni-Chinese relationship, I found that
Yemen must look upon China in view of the following facts:
1. China now is one of the fastest growing economies in the world.
2. China's development is one of the greatest success stories of our time.
3. China is on the rise because of her glaring success.
4. China has proved that she cannot be ignored by any developing country.
5. China is growing at a period when the world is attentive and watchful.
3. 6. Momentum is on China's side and it would be a mistake not to embrace it.
7. China has adroitly used its resources and leadership to establish itself in the world
8. China recently became the number one consumer of world resources.
9. China's good public relations and expertise have endeared her to Arab nations,
especially Yemen.
10. China has no issues of conflict with Yemen.
11. There are lessons that Yemen really need to learn from China.
12. China is a true friend and always makes extra efforts for the poor because she was
once in the same situation
13. China is not the type of country that will take advantage of developing countries.
14. China has always been Yemen's best economic partner and hope to continue to be
for many years to come.
15. China's 1.3 billion people would be a good market for Yemeni products.
At the same time I believe that China should look upon Yemen in the light of the
following facts:
1 Yemen has a great people, who work hard so and can learn quickly from the
Chinese.
2 Yemen has a wise leadership and a strong team of highly qualified specialists, who
are ready not just to open their hearts but also their minds to China, the Chinese and
the Chinese Scientific Revolution.
3 Yemen is a very important strategic location on the south-west corner of the Asian
continent, which is significant for China located on the south-east corner of the Asian
continent. If we looked at the Asian continent (or the Asian continents plus the
European continent) as a chess board, Yemen and China would be the castles on the
board, representing black and white, carrying significance not just for the two
countries but also the differing colors of the human race from time immemorial.
4 Yemen surprises the whole world with its hidden treasures, the same as China. They
both mean a lot to each other, human civilization and world history.
5 Yemen still has untapped resources, which makes it a place of interest for China as
a net importer of oil. It is known that during the last few years several indicators have
begun to show that China's oil strategy is moving in this direction. In recent years
(1993-1998) China's main oil import partners have been Oman, Yemen, Iran, Saudi
Arabia, Russia, Indonesia and Angola. Based on my doctoral research study on
Yemeni geology (See Chapter 1 of my study entitled, "A New View of Yemeni
Geology Based on a New Solution to the Most Chaotic Yemeni Geological Problems)
made in 2002 at Jilin University, China, I proved that China is the largest importer of
4. Yemeni crude oil. This is just one example of how Yemen can serve China and vice-
versa.
6 Yemen plays a unique and positive role in:
a. Resolving any Arabian conflicts through mediation.
b. Promoting the integration process.
c. Enhancing inter-Arab cooperation.
d. Facilitating the Yemen-Horn of African Countries dialogue and other regional and
international affairs.
For these reasons the Arab and Islamic World, China and the whole of international
society are highly appreciative of Yemen�s role and look forward to cooperating
with Yemen.
The impact of relations with China will be extremely productive. We in Yemen are
ready to work with China, in the spirit of sincere friendship, reciprocity, mutual
support and orienting towards the future, to consolidate and deepen the mutually
beneficial cooperation in various fields and constantly push forward the China-Yemen
relationship.
In recent years, under the leadership of President Ali Abdullah Saleh, the government
and people of Yemen have been actively facilitating national reconciliation, making
efforts to maintain social stability, vigorously promoting social and economic reform,
and have made great progress in all undertakings. The aforementioned acts make all
leaders of the world look to Yemen with great respect.
Here, I would like to ask YOU (Yemeni Readers) the following questions:
1. Do you think Yemen can learn a lot from China?
2. Would you like to see Yemeni goods flood Chinese market in the near future?
3. Is it true that Yemen's political relationship with China is improving by the day?
4. Do you think further work on exchanging our highly-qualified young scientists and
experts with China is the best way to achieve cooperation in other fields?
5. What opportunities are there to develop and nurture our homegrown talent, based
on our relationship with China?
6. Do you think we should work together with China to promote our own industries?
7. Do you think bilateral ties with China could be a steppingstone for Yemen to
improve economically?
8. Do you think Yemen can learn from China about how to develop a self-sufficient
society?
5. And at the same time, I would like also to ask YOU (Chinese Readers) the
following questions:
1. Do you think China and Yemen could be a profitable union for both parties in the
near future?
2. Will China willingly teach Yemen the secrets of her success?
3. If Yemen is going to open up businesses in China, do you think many people will
buy Yemeni products?
4. Do you think Chinese leaders should encourage real Yemeni investments in China?
5. Do you think China should build a strong relationship with Yemen and all other
Arab Countries?
6. Do you think East or West Chinese products are the best?
7. When will Chinese citizens buy Yemeni goods?
Conclusions and Recommendations:
1. In my opinion, to improve our relationship with the Peoples Republic of China,
both governments should take the following steps:
a. Regularly and closely consult each other.
b. Concert on all major issues in international forums.
c. Work in total concert, so as to promote progress towards our common objectives.
d. Build a mutual relationship in the fields of science and technology, trade and
commerce, cultural, social, economic and political matters as well as academic
relations.
2. To activate the relationship between Yemen and China and the opposite, I would
like to invite all the heads of both government sides' local press, radio and television
channels to work with my following suggestion:
a. To organize an annual Yemeni-Chinese meeting every year held in alternate
countries.
b. To invite interested parties from both sides to join the meeting.
c. To organize a prize for the best paper, article or, suggestions and recommendations
to improve the relationship between our countries.
d. To publish a questionnaire on the Yemeni-Chinese Relationship in the Yemen
Observer newspaper and its equivalent in China for Yemeni and Chinese readers to
complete and return with added comments. The main aim of this is to be in touch with
the public in Yemen and China.
3. Both governments must work harder on improving technical, economic and
scientific cooperation through the following activities:
a. Exchange of personnel for training purposes (for example, in technical schools,
institutes, colleges, universities and other scientific research centers; factories and
other production centers, and the proffering of more grants for scholarships).
6. b. Exchange of expert knowledge (through visits and with a view to lecturing and
instructing).
c. Exchange of technical documentation and necessary equipment (including the
exchange and giving of corresponding information).
d. Exchange of information, books and scientific publications.
e. Cooperation in scientific research work between scientific institutes and bodies.
f. Setting up of joint industrial ventures.
g. Cooperation of production enterprises in finding the most suitable technical
solution and attaining increased productivity.
h. Asking all organs appointed to cooperate technically, economically and
scientifically, to keep in touch with each other, here in Sana'a or in Beijing, on all
questions related to the realization of the approved programs of technical, economic
and scientific cooperation and direct their monthly and annual reports to their heads in
the competent authorities.
i. Review progress made to establish periodically the quality and amount of mutual
technical, economic and scientific cooperation.
4. At the same time we must:
a. Find a way to introduce Yemen Studies in China.
b. Create the opportunity to start parallel studies between Yemen and China, possibly
through a Yemen-China Center.
c. Work hard on making an effort to expand the academic exchanges at the private
level.
d. Promote diplomatic relations and academic exchanges at both private level and
governmental levels.
e. Build on the lesson of China�s scientific revolution and expand academic
exchanges with China through parallel studies.
Yemeni and Chinese leaders need to discuss the coming together of the two nations as
part of south west and south east Asian cooperation (in Sana'a or in Beijing rounds)
and focus especially on issues related to globalization and WTO negotiations to
safeguard human values.
In my opinion any economic dealings with China will be sincere and respectful. I
particularly admire the Chinese for their pride in the scientific revolution and their
drive for self-sufficiency. As a Yemeni, I would like to commend China on its
excellent work and endless efforts to return peace to Yemen and also for helping
many other countries improve their economy.
Finally I would like to reiterate that China is an important economic partner of Yemen
and one of the fastest growing economies in the world. It is a country which we
believe has a tremendous future to look forward to.
