Saudi Arabia and Kuwait signed an agreement on Tuesday to resume pumping at two major oilfields in a shared neutral zone shut for five years due to a bilateral disagreement, officials said.
Kuwait’s oil minister Khaled al-Fadhel said on Twitter that the memorandum of understanding signed with Saudi Arabia included “the resumption of production in the divided zone.”
Agencies reported that the two countries also signed an agreement on the demarcation of land and maritime borders in the neutral zone.
KUNA did not give details on the contents of the deal which likely revolves around amending previous border agreements between the two Arab nations.
