Aramco plans to boost production capacity at the two fields by 550,000 barrels per day (bbl/d) of Arabian crude oil and 2.5 billion standard cubic feet a day (Bcf/d) of gas, the company said in a statement.
The company’s maximum sustained oil output capacity is currently 12 million barrels per day, the statement added.
