Comment
Issued by: Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency (SAMA)COA:
In 1933, during the reign of HM King Abdulaziz Bin Abdulrahman Al Saud, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia granted oil concession and in 1936 the drilling began in Dammam Well no. 7. The Custodian of the two Holy Mosques, King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, renamed it "Prosperity Well" in 2008, since it was the first well to produce oil commercially in Saudi Arabia.
