Significance
He arrived in Malaysia on February 26 and Indonesia on March 1. The tour also includes the Maldives, Brunei and China, and is intended to increase Saudi religious, political and economic influence in the region.
Impacts
Saudi Arabia-South-east Asia trade will likely diversify.
The transnational crime MOU with Indonesia could accelerate Jakarta's drafting of new anti-terrorism laws proposed in 2016.
Improved Indonesia-Saudi ties will somewhat insulate Jakarta from tensions over Pertamina’s Iranian oil field investments.
Closer Malaysia-Saudi ties could help Malaysia’s Prime Minister Najib Razak politically ahead of the next election.
Abstract
The latest development in the electronics and manufacturing industry has enabled work towards the modernization of oil-field instruments. As a part of this trend, it is the time to invent and design small size oil-field instruments that could be much more practical to handle, easy to use, and less costly. High temperatures and pressures of the downhole environment make it very challenging to design and further develop such downhole instruments. To create such apparatuses, a thorough study of downhole conditions needs to be done upfront. This study will further help to define the design specifications and requirements. By targeting liquid wells in Saudi Arabia, we have overcome the challenges posed by the harsh downhole environment and managed to design and manufacture a hand-held device called ‘Sensor Ball’ and tested it in the field.
A positive prediction of the reservoir distribution based on sedimentological and sequence stratigraphic constraints for 3D-reservoir models of the Middle Cretaceous Burgan Formation(Albian), Khafji Oil Field, ex-Neutral Zone between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
