Located approximately 100km west of Dhahran and 200km east of Riyadh in Saudi Arabia’s Al Hasa Province, Ghawar is the world’s biggest conventional onshore oil field both by reserves and daily output.

Owned and operated by the state-owned Saudi Aramco, the super-giant oil field has been producing since 1951 and is estimated to continue pumping oil at its current maximum production capacity of 3.8 million barrels a day beyond 2050.
