For example, the Ghawar super-giant field is known for abundant heavy crude (32-34) API trapped in relatively porous rock at a reasonable depth of ~6500 ft. So generally the oil is easy to extract</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #585B5D"><span style="font-family: 'arial'">Saudi Arabia is a kingdom, and their national oil company, Saudi Aramco, has no royalties to pay out, low exploration costs, and access to a wide variety of crudes, from light sweet to heavy sour. They handle their own transportation, processing and refining which means profits are assessed over the whole enterprise, not each point in the chain. Labor costs and transportation costs within the Kingdom are inexpensive, and the land under which the oil fields sit is not really in competition for other resources.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #585B5D"></span></p><p><span style="color: #585B5D"><span style="font-family: 'arial'"> These are conventional vertical wells that don't need to be fraced    They drill, run casing , swab out the drilling mud and put the well on production.     </span></span></p></blockquote><p></p>
