Saudi Arabia’s Manifa offshore oil field is a huge development just off of Saudi Arabia’s northeast coast. The field exists in harmony with large underwater areas where wildlife and coral reefs are thriving, and is the size of Manhattan.
A video by Saudi Aramco on the company’s YouTube channel highlights the project’s extensive scope and engineering. It is the largest offshore development to be undertaken by Saudi Aramco.
Planning for the Manifa project began in 2006 and the front-end engineering and design (FEED) was completed in the third quarter of 2007. Manifa was discovered in 1957 and developed, but was then later mothballed because of the heavy quality of the crude, according to offshore-technology.com.
