Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil supplier, extended operations by Chevron Corp. in three onshore oilfields straddling the kingdom's border with Kuwait, the Saudi Press Agency reported, citing a government statement.
The Saudi cabinet approved ''an extension and amendment of the agreement'' of Chevron's operations in the Saudi-Kuwait Divided Zone, the state-owned news agency reported.
The Divided Zone, also known as the Neutral Zone, contains 5 billion barrels of proven oil reserves, shared between the two countries, and produced 600,000 barrels a day in 2007, according to information on the Web site of the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
Chevron operates the Wafra, Humma, and South Umm Gudair oilfields in the zone under a 60-year license, according to EIA. These fields contain 2 billion barrels of proven reserves and total production of about 260,000 barrels a day of Arab Heavy oil.
