Every week, we will aim to share topical insights and data on a range of interesting themes. We trust that you will find them valuable and informative. Saudi Arabia’s passenger and freight railway network - current and planned Riyadh-Dammam line: Haramain high speed GCC line: 28 km 449 km passenger line rail: 450 km (onstruction) 54 km freight line (Inaugurated) 400 km su-lines Riyadh North-South railway: Land bridge: 1,30 km 2,750 km (Planned) Source: Public Transport Authority The Saudi railway network has five main lines. Two lines are operational: the Riyadh to Dammam and the North-South railway lines. The new high-speed Haramain rail line which can accommodate speeds of up to 300 kilometers (km) per hour and covers 450 km was inaugurated recently, connecting Mecca, Jeddah, King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, King Abdullah Economic City, Rabigh and Madinah. This network will carry 60 million passengers a year with a fleet of 35 trains. The two other lines are in the planning stage. The existing North-South Railway project is one of the largest railway projects, covering more than 2,750 kilometers of track. It connects Riyadh and the northern border through the cities of Al-Qassim and Hail. The Riyadh to Dammam line was the first operational line: • The freight line opened in the 1950s, connecting King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam with Riyadh, through Al-Ahsa, Abqaiq, Al-Kharj, Haradh, and Al-Tawdhihiyah.

  • Current Outlook to the Middle East Railways
    1 Current Outlook to the Middle East Railways In the Name of the Almighty 2 Current Outlook to the Middle East Railways Information for the reader The present report offers an overview of rail transport in a number of countries in the Middle East (RAME members). It does not claim to be exhaustive. It is a compilation of information on Middle East Railways, networks and projects that was collected from various public sources and the related countries as well. The pursued objective was to describe the present situation in each country in a neutral way, without formulating any opinion or assessing the described rail transport systems. This document is the first version. Readers are invited to inform UIC M.E. Regional Office of any new development or changes in the information related to their network. We intend to update the report in order to make it reflect the rapid development that rail transport is experiencing in the Region. UIC M.E. Regional Office expresses thanks to all members who contributed to this report by providing information and data, and by lending us their support.

  • Geology and Production Significance of Dolomite, Arab-D Reservoir, Ghawar Field, Saudi Arabia
    GeoArabia, Vol. 6, No. 1, 2001 Gulf PetroLink, Bahrain Arab-D Reservoir, Ghawar Field, Saudi Arbia Geology and Production Significance of Dolomite, Arab-D Reservoir, Ghawar Field, Saudi Arabia David L. Cantrell, Saudi Aramco, Peter K. Swart, University of Miami, Robertson C. Handford, Consultant, Christopher G. Kendall, University of South Carolina, and Hildegard Westphal, University of Hannover ABSTRACT At least five distinct types of dolomite occur in the Arab-D Reservoir in Ghawar field, Saudi Arabia – one of which appears to be responsible for high flow or ‘super-k’. These dolomite types are distinct petrographically, geochemically and stratigraphically: • a finely-crystalline non-fabric-preserving (NFP) variety of dolomite in the lower Arab- D (Zone 3) with low oxygen isotope values and generally poor reservoir quality; • a medium-crystalline NFP dolomite with high oxygen isotope values and very poor reservoir quality in the upper Arab-D (Zone 2); • a medium to coarsely-crystalline NFP dolomite with low oxygen isotopic values and very good reservoir quality (‘super-k’) occurring in Zone 2; and • a finely-crystalline fabric-preserving (FP) dolomite in the uppermost Arab-D (Zone 1) that contains high oxygen isotope values and has generally fair to poor reservoir quality. Previous studies have documented a rare fifth type of dolomite, baroque or ‘saddle’ dolomite, that occurs locally in the reservoir as well. This study also quantified and mapped the abundance and distribution of dolomite across the field, using all available core and log data. Analysis of dolomite distribution map patterns reveals that dolomite occurs in Ghawar as a series of linear trends extending for tens’s of kilometers.
