Abstract |
: |
This research was designed for the documentation of the biography of King Khalid and the study of oil and development during his reign. The significance of this research topic arises from the lack in references that tackle studying this historical era of King Khalid reign as well as the privacy that characterized the issue of oil and development during his reign in which the state had sovereignty over its oil wealth. This research aims at investigating the biography of King Khalid, studying the impact of his role and efforts on the march of development as well as studying the topic of oil in his age through the historical enumeration of these developments that took place and led to the state sovereignty over its oil wealth in addition to considering the effect of oil revenues upon the march of development . For the purpose of achieving this research objectives, it was divided into three sections in addition to an introduction and two appendixes. In writing these sections, the researcher has used three basic methods: the descriptive method, the analytical method and the comparative method. The introduction has tackled oil and development issue before the reign of King Khalid with which the first appendix is associated. Chapter One dealt with the biography and life of King Khalid with which the second appendix is associated. It is merely the historical documentation of these events that he has witnessed during his life. Chapter Two tackled studying oil issue whereas Chapter Three was assigned for studying the development issue during the reign of King Khalid. This research has focused light on these factors that have shaped the character of King Khalid since his youth. It has also presented full documented review of all different aspects of His Majesty's character as well as the documentation of these tasks he has performed during different stages of his life. Tables were used for the documentation of the historical chronology of these actions and tasks in a particular manner that characterized this research. It is also distinguished by documenting all his speeches and press talks besides documenting awards and medals he has obtained. In addition, this research has tackled the issue of decentralization and authority empowerment he has practiced in ruling the state. This research has recorded (89) historical stages that have occurred in the King's life during his reign that has extended to about (88) months. This research has also tackled these reforms that took place in the field of oil which have enabled the state to prevail her sovereignty over oil wealth during his reign. It also reviewed this balanced oil policy adopted by King Khalid that had a role in achieving stability in oil markets and the economic prosperity for all the people of the world . Therefore, leaders, presidents and the international organizations have conferred upon him the supreme awards and medals in recognition of this balanced policy to which he has committed. During the reign of King Khalid, oil industries have achieved an unprecedented boom that will hardly occur again. Certain oil reserves have amounted to (168,32) billion barrels. As a result, Saudi Arabia has occupied the second position in the world in terms of oil production whose rate has amounted to (9,9) million barrels per day. Their production has formed the rate of (17.5 %) of total world production. In addition, the capacity of oil refinement has risen from (577) to (1799) thousand barrels per day as well as the capacity of oil refineries has increased from (290) to (6720) barrels a day. His reign has witnessed the most important two events in the field of oil industry represented in establishing SABIC and the Royal Authority. This research has recorded the issue of (234) new legislations. During his era, development has achieved standard rates in these indicators that are used for measuring them where the local production and individual income have achieved rates that were not reached until the financial year (1419/1420 H). |
