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 | In the framework of the recent Saudi tendency to promote entertainment, a group of 100 young hikers joined Tuwaiq Mountains Challenge in February, 2019 |

The escarpment can be thought of as a narrow plateau, though the locals refer to it as a jebel "mount" | used the name "Tuwayr Mountains" to describe mountains of central Arabia, distinct from the in the north, the in the south, and to the east |
.
Bureau and Saudi researchers conducted a high-resolution LIDAR survey of Middle Jurassic outcrops of the Tuwaiq Mountain limestone along the Tuwaiq Mountain Escarpment near the city of , | 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 |

Many settlements have historically existed on either side of it as well, such as those of and Al-Washm | The hikers climbed around 25km |
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.
