Saudi, Kuwait unveil new oil discovery in Neutral Zone

26/05/2025 Argaam


Saudi Arabia and Kuwait announced today, May 26, a new oil discovery in the jointly operated Wafra field.

 

The oil find is located in the North Wafra Warrah-Burgan reservoir, about five kilometers north of the main Wafra site.

 

Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Energy said crude flowed from the Warrah reservoir in the North Wafra (Warrah-Burgan-1) well. The output exceeded 500 barrels per day with an API gravity of 26-27 degrees.

 

This is the first oil discovery since production resumed in mid-2020 in the Saudi-Kuwaiti Neutral Zone and adjacent offshore area. The ministry called the find highly significant, citing its positive impact on both countries’ energy reputation and upstream capabilities.
