#1 Hmm... now about that Independent Republic of eastern Arabia. Will this be included?

#2 Yep - it's well within the 30-40 Km zone. Check this out for the current Saudi production info.

One of the key passages:
"Although Saudi Arabia has around 80 oil and gas fields (and over 1,000 wells), more than half of its oil reserves are contained in only eight fields, including Ghawar (the world's largest oil field, with estimated remaining reserves of 70 billion barrels) and Safaniya (the world's largest offshore oilfield, with estimated reserves of 35 billion barrels). Ghawar's main producing structures are, from north to south: Ain Dar, Shedgum, Uthmaniyah, Farzan, Ghawar, Al Udayliyah, Hawiyah, and Haradh. Overall, Ghawar alone accounts for about half of Saudi Arabia's total oil production capacity"

All of the proven fields lie along the coast from Kuwait to Yemen.

A fairly complete picture as of June, 2004.
