High-precision laser scans were used as a template upon which stratigraphic interpretation were made allowing researchers to characterize sub-seismic, flow-unit scale reservoir properties of Jurassic bioherms in an effort to better understand optimum production techniques of this enormous reservoir | The capital lies just beyond the horizon |

The Tweig escarpment is mentioned in 's 13th century geographical encyclopedia under the name "Al-'Aridh", though for the past few centuries that name has applied only to the central section of it, around Riyadh |

The eastern side slopes downwards gradually, while the western side ends in an abrupt manner | Many narrow valleys run along its sides, such as , and a group of towns lie on its central section, including the capital, |
This study was a first step towards building a quantitative 3-D geologic model for use as an analog to the lower Arab-D reservoir.
