Saudi Aramco boosts drilling efforts to offset declining fields

When the author wrote about some of the stories that are likely to be discussed over the next year, one of those that the author mentioned is the delay before we see further (more) increases in production from KSA. In the piece the author quoted from the Arab News about the latest projections of Aramco production increases over the next two years. While there has not been much change in the total projected (future) production over the last eighteen months, there have been some, as the Kingdom has moved toward a goal of 130 rigs operating there by May of this year.

Note that in a June 2005 post the the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) was quoted as suggesting the following for current and projected Saudi oil output by field.
Current plans to reach a 12.5 mbd goal call for the following production numbers (according to Cordesman and the CSIS)

Abqaiq - 400,000 bd
Ghawar - 5,500,000 bd
Berri - 400,000 bd
Safaniya - 1,500,000 bd
Abu Sa'fah - 300,000 bd
Zuluf - 800,000 bd
