Oil Production In Joint Saudi-Kuwaiti Fields Could Restart “Relatively Quickly”
Chevron could restart oil production from the so-called partitioned zone between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait “relatively quickly”, chief executive Michael Wirth told CNBC in an interview.
Chevron has an agreement with
Saudi Arabia to produce oil from the fields in the partitioned zone on
its behalf. However, a territorial dispute between the Kingdom and
Kuwait put production of oil there on hold four years ago.
Previously, two fields in the partitioned zone—Khafji and Wafra—pumped half
a million barrels daily. Operational differences and a worsening in
bilateral relations led to the suspension of production in 2015. Last
year, there was talk about restarting joint production after the United
States called on its Gulf allies to increase production to keep rising
oil prices from going too high.
At the time, sources told Reuters Saudi Arabia had wanted more control
over the joint oil production operations in the zone and the Kuwaitis
had been unwilling to accept that.
Now, following the Saturday attacks on a Saudi oil field and a processing plant with a capacity of 5 million bpd, talk about joint production in the PZ is once again on the table.
According to Chevron’s Wirth, the attacks have highlighted the fact
that there are real risks in the oil industry that could flare up at any
time.
“Perhaps the market had grown a little bit comfortable with risks that
we never became comfortable with,” Wirth told CNBC’s The Closing Bell.
“These events demonstrate that those risks are real.”
Saudi Arabia and Kuwait resumed discussions about the restart of joint production from Khafji and Wafra earlier this year, with then-Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih saying he expected all differences to be settled by the end of the year. The
outage the attacks caused last week at the Khurais field and the Abqaiq
processing plant could add urgency to the discussions.

By Tuesday, the kingdom had managed to restore full supplies to customers by drawing oil from their massive oil inventories. The company also announced production would return sooner than expected – by the end of the month.
SOME IMPLICATIONS BY THESE ATTACKS
1) NOT SO EASY TO GO BACK TO FULL PRODUCTION SO FAST AS THOSE COLUMNS OF OIL PRODUCTION FACILITIES ARE AS HIGH AS 300 FEET
IMPORT AND TRASNSPORT AND INSTALLATION WILL TAKE TIME
2) FOR NOW THEY ARE DRAWING ON STORED OIL INVENTORIES. ONCE DRAWN DOWN THERE WILL STILL BE A SHORTAGE
3) SO THEY WILL TRY TO GET FROM SURROUNDING FRIENDLY NATION LIKE KUWAIT
4) SCOMIES(7045) WILL BENEFIT AS IT HAS A SUPPLY CONTRACT IN KUWAIT FOR RM600 MILLIONS OF DRILLING OIL SERVICE
5) SCOMIES WILL ALSO SEE MORE DEMAND FOR DRILLING OIL WORLD - WIDE AS MANY OTHER OIL ENTITIES WILL TAKE INITIATIVE TO EXPLORE AND DRILL FOR OIL. THIS IS AS A FORM OF INSURANCE PROTECTION DUE TO THE UNCERTAIN NATURE OF WORLD OIL SUPPLY DUE TO UNFORESEEN DISRUPTION LIKE THIS
6) SO THIS SINGLE ACT OF SABOTAGE ON SAUDI OIL FACILITIES HAS CHANGED THE EQUATION AND PROSPECT FOR SCOMIES
SCOMIES = THE ONE STOCK THAT HAS BEEN ENERGISED
