Modern KSA was established in 1932. At the time, it did not have the infrastructure needed to support the economic growth. However, in 1938 the landscape changed. Oil discovery in commercial quantities provided all the funds needed to build schools, airports and hospitals.

The UAE has six per cent of the world’s oil reserves and the seventh largest proven natural gas reserves. Steps towards economic diversification have already been taken, with a large proportion of Government funds going towards creating a competitive knowledge economy and sustainable environmental infrastructure, including investment in Information Technology.
Kuwait

Egypt
Egypt has a developed energy market based on coal, oil, natural gas, and hydro power. Substantial coal deposits in the northeast Sinai are mined at the rate of about 600,000 tonnes (590,000 long tons; 660,000 short tons) per year.
​
Egypt is counting on top liquid natural gas (LNG) exporter Qatar to obtain additional gas volumes in summer, while encouraging factories to plan their annual maintenance for those months of peak demand, said EGPC chairman, Tarek El Barkatawy. Egypt produces its own energy, but has been a net oil importer since 2008 and is rapidly becoming a net importer of natural gas.
