Kuwait, Saudi Arabia invite Iran to hold talks on gas-rich offshore zone -SPA

Saudi Arabia and Kuwait invited Iran to negotiate the eastern limit of a joint, energy-rich, offshore area, including the Durra natural gas field. Both states have claimed it is their right to develop in this area, with the Kuwaiti government stating that Durra is “entirely a Kuwaiti and Saudi field.” Iran has claimed that it has a stake in the field and the Saudi-Kuwaiti agreement to develop it is “illegal.”
