Oil and Gas: Fields, Reserves and Companies

Most of this reading centres on the Gulf, where a handful of giant fields shape world supply. Pieces on the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar and Oman explain where reserves sit, how fields such as Ghawar, Zakum, Umm Shaif, Burgan and Safaniya are worked, and which drilling, construction and service companies do the work. Country rankings of reserves and daily production, including US output and the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, give the wider picture.

A separate group follows the technology side: AI, FPSO vessels, field services, supply chains and efforts to cut methane and other emissions. Job seekers will find notes on openings at KOC, KNPC and rig operators in Kuwait. Analysts, engineers, contractors and investors can each pick up the thread that suits their work.
