Not Even All the Land In Saudi Arabia Produces Oil

Is it any wonder that oil companies have not drilled on every acre of lease they hold from the government? Not even the Saudis and the giant Ghawar Oil Field (the world's largest) has oil in every acre. Maybe B Hussein should look at a few maps of the Gulf and the American West.
Oil and gas are located in pockets. Not every square foot of a region hold recoverable reserves so oil companies have to be selective on where they drill.
