Recent field reconnaissance work in the Wajid area of southwestern Saudi Arabia has identified a sequence of sandstones
stratigraphically located between early Permian Juwayl Formation diamictites and upper Permian Khuff Formation
interpreted as early to middle Permian Unayzah-A equivalent eolian sandstones. Recognition of this thin (5-10 meters)
interval is critical
in expanding the southwestern limit of the existing Unayzah -A Reservoir dune fairway established in
Central and Eastern Saudi Arabia.
