Saudis, Kuwait Delay Drilling in Disputed Dorra Gas Field

摘要

Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are delaying a planned exploration program in an offshore gas field to which Iran also lays claim (IOD Oct.28,p1). Khafji Joint Operations (KJO), a joint venture between Aramco Gulf Operations (AGOC) and Kuwait Gulf Oil Co. (KGOC), had originally planned to start the program in the Dorra field this month. But the sides have yet to give the final goahead, an industry source told International Oil Daily on Monday.
