GlobalData provide some stats on how much Saudi Arabia spends on oil and other equipment.
Analysis of Saudi Arabia’s crude oil production shows that over $79.6bn in capital expenditure (capex) would be spent by Saudi Arabia Oil Co on oil projects over the next four years, to ensure that country’s production remains around 11.2 million barrel per day (mmbd) in 2021.
The company will have 17 fields producing in 2021, of which 13 are conventional oil fields and four are gas fields producing condensate, according to GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.
