Rub' al-KhaliVast desert, south-central Arabian Peninsula. It covers about 250,000 sq mi (650,000 sq km), mainly in southeastern Saudi Arabia, and has lesser portions in Yemen, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates. It is the largest area of continuous sand in the world and occupies more than one-fourth of Saudi Arabia. It is virtually uninhabited and largely unexplored. In 1948 Al-Ghawar, one of the world's largest oil fields, was discovered there. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

Al-Judaimi, until then head of Saudi Aramco's northern area oil operations, was also made chairman of the South Rub' al-Khali (Srak) exploration company, a position Faleh relinquished earlier in the year. While most of Saudi crude oil production centres in the east, where the supergiant Ghawar axis of oilfields is located, Saggaf said Saudi Aramco was "aggressively pursuing" oil and gas exploration in four other parts of the country, including the Red Sea, the north-west, Rub' Al-Khali (Empty Quarter) in the south, and North Riyadh. |
