The South Rub ‘al Khali Company Ltd is an Incorporated Joint Venture between Shell Saudi Ventures<br>Limited (50%) and Saudi Arabian Oil Company (50%) and was set up in order to explore for nonassociated<br>gas in the South Rub ‘al Khali Basin as part of the Natural Gas Initiative in the Kingdom of<br>Saudi Arabia.<br>To date exploration for a working Palaeozoic petroleum system has proven reservoir in 4-way<br>structural dip closure and the presence of mature source rock. The search for gas is focused on the<br>subtle, off-structure stratigraphic potential of the Unayzah Group, and in particular the Nuayyim<br>Formation and/or Jawb Member sandstones.
