Kuwait is a key oil producing country located between Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Production costs are amongst the lowest in the world. Oil is produced from a few giant oil fields. Greater Burgan accounts for around 50% of the country's oil output. Development is currently focused on the Jurassic gas and heavy oil fields in the Northern Fields.
