Subj: Threat from Release of Chemicals Stored or Produced in
the Al Jubayl Area
1. PURPOSE. A study was conducted to determine the threat to
various military installations should an accident or
terrorist/sabotage attack occur at any of the chemical facilities
in the Al Jubayl area. Estimates were made as to the degree of
damage resulting from such an incident.
2. APPROACH. Chemical production and storage facilities are
located at the Jubail Industrial City and the King Fahad
Industrial Port. Oil welle are scattered throughout the area. The
types of chemicals present at each of these locations were
determined by contacting personnel working at the chemical
companies and consulting publications describing the industrial
area.
The damage resulting from an accident or attack was assessed
by performing computer simulations of releases of various
chemicals. The simulations reveal the footprint of harmful
concentrations of the gas. Two local companies, Rashid
Geotechnical and Materials Engineers and SADAF, performed these
simulations. These and other results are reported in the next
section.
3. RESULTS. The results of the study are described below. A
series of appendices provide additional, more detailed
information.
a. Chemicals Produced or Stored in the MARCENT AOR
1) Chemicals produced or stored at the Jubail
Industrial City or the King Fahad Port are listed below. Figure 1
shows a map of the area and the locations of companies mentioned
in the list. Special attention should be paid to the location of
chemicals and their respective hazards.
