Dukhan Field

[1] The field produces up to 335,000 barrels (53,300 m3) of crude oil per day.

Operations were put on hold temporarily in 1942 due to the Second World War but were resumed in 1947.

[6] The Dukhan anticline, with its thin lengthened structure and moderately steep dips stands out from the greater part of the neighboring folds.

This has prompted some geologists to associate its formation with deep-seated salt movement.

[7] The overall length of the anticline is roughly 80 km above the lowest closing contour.
