In what century were oil field discovered in the arabian peninsula

Well, the answer you are looking for is going to be the 20th century. this is going to be because back then the need for oil had been really high because it was needed for things like running machines or maybe even cars. If the oil field had not been discovered places like The U.S.A would have been short on oil and the prices would go up on oil.
