Ibn Saud had dispatched American mining engineer Karl Twitchell to examine eastern Arabia. In 1932, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was proclaimed with Ibn Saud as king. In 1913, his forces captured the province of Al Hasa from the Ottoman Turks. On January 15, 1902, Iban Saud took Riyadh from the Rashid tribe. The well was at 1180 ft at 4 AM in the morning and oil started gushing out of the well up to 75 Ft in the air, which started the oil boom in the Middle East Reynolds received orders from London for his last-chance well: Drill to 1,600 feet and then stop. In Persia, staff was already being dismissed. had rescued the expedition financially in 1904, but with no results and D'Arcy's personal fortune completely ran out, he risked losing his two country houses and his London mansion. He sent explorer George Reynolds, who searched fruitlessly for seven years. Englishman William D'Arcy had obtained a license to explore for oil in Persia in 1901. It's the first big petroleum find in the Middle East, and it sets off a wave of exploration, extraction and exploitation that will change the region's – and the world's – history. In 1908 a British company strikes oil in Persia (now Iran). An overview of the geology and the cause of this high permeability will be shown. One of the challenges in Saudi Arabia is the vast amount of water needed to for injection to maintain production as the water cut increases. The largest Oil Field in the World is the Ghawar Oil Field, which can produce over 6 Million BBLS per day. The geology in the Middle East is unique, which allows some of the highest flow rates of any wells in the world. During the meeting, the history of the discoveries in these countries will be presented. Oil was discovered in Iran in 1908 and then expanded into Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. We are at the 110th anniversary of the discovery of oil in the Middle East.
