中國石化新聞網訊 據普氏能源資訊8月22日倫敦報道,科威特石油大臣拉希德周三表示,他預計科威特將在未來幾周內解決涉及鄰國伊拉克和沙特阿拉伯的兩個油田長期存在的糾紛。 科威特官方通訊社Kuna報導說,拉希德表示,科威特將很快與伊拉克簽署協議,在年底前進口天然氣并運營聯合油田。 橫跨伊拉克和科威特邊界的油田是導致伊拉克前總統薩達姆·侯賽因在1990年入侵科威特的爭論焦點。侯賽因指責科威特開采屬于伊拉克的原油。 自戰爭結束以來,雙方一直試圖解決雙方在油田所有權和運營方面遺留的分歧。 根據Kuna報道,拉希德說:“我們正在挑選一個全球顧問來研究聯合油田項目?!?拉希德在采訪中還說,沙特阿拉伯和科威特之間的中立區可能很快開始生產。 李峻 編譯自 普氏能源資訊 原文如下: Kuwait aims to settle oil field disputes with Iraq, Saudi Arabia in coming weeks Kuwaiti oil minister Bakheet al-Rashidi said Wednesday he expects to resolve two long-standing oil field disputes involving neighbors Iraq and Saudi in the coming weeks. In comments reported by Kuwaiti official news agency Kuna, Rashidi said Kuwait would soon sign an agreement with Iraq on importing gas and operating joint oil fields by the end of the year. The oil fields straddling the border between Iraq and Kuwait were the center of contention that led to former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein invading Kuwait in 1990. Hussein had accused Kuwait of tapping crude that belonged to Iraq. Since the war’s end, the two sides have attempted to resolve lingering differences over ownership and operation of the fields. “We are in the process of selecting a global consultant to study the joint fields project,” Rashidi said, according to the Kuna report. Meanwhile, the Neutral Zone between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait could begin production shortly, Rashidi said. ?
