Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have jointly announced the discovery of oil in the North Wafra Wara-Burgan field, part of the neutral zone between the two countries.
This marks the very first discovery since the resumption of production operations in the Partitioned Zone and its adjacent offshore area in mid-2020.
The neutral zone is also called the Partitioned Zone.
It is a 5,770 sq km area between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait where both countries share equal rights to oil.
