According to the joint statement, crude oil flowed from the
Wara reservoir in the North Wafra (Wara-Burgan-1) wellat a rate exceeding 500
barrels per day, with an API gravity of 26 to 27 degrees.
This is the first oil discovery since the resumption of
production operations in the Partitioned Zone and its adjacent offshore area in
mid-2020, when both countries restarted joint operations after a period of
suspension.
The discovery is considered strategically significant, as it
reinforces Saudi Arabia and Kuwait’s roles as reliable global energy suppliers,
and reflects their ongoing capabilities in exploration and production across
shared oil fields
