据彭博社10月5日消息，沙特阿拉伯王储说，他即将与科威特就两个共同拥有的油田达成协议，每天生产50万桶原油。
“我们相信我们几乎与科威特有了联系，”王储穆罕默德Bin Salman星期日在科威特的一个皇宫接受采访时说，他在星期日会见了科威特的埃米尔酋长Sabah Al-Ahmed Al-Sabah。“我们相信我们很快就会有所收获。”
Khafji和Wafra油田位于中立区，这是两国边界的一部分，至今未被定义将近一个世纪。长期以来，该地区的主权问题仍未解决，但穆罕默德王子说恢复生产仍然是可能的。
穆罕默德王子说，如果市场需要的话，沙特阿拉伯目前有130万桶/日的备用容量准备使用。他说，中立区的油田产出将提供额外的产能。
“我们正在试图说服科威特人谈论主权问题，同时继续生产直到我们解决该问题，”王储说。

Saudi prince sees deal with Kuwait to restart oil fields "soon"
Saudi Arabia’s crown prince said he’s getting close to striking a deal with Kuwait about two jointly owned fields that can produce half a million barrels a day of crude.
“We believe that we are almost close to having something with Kuwait,” Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, who met with Kuwait’s Emir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmed Al-Sabah The fields of Khafji and Wafra are located in Neutral Zone, a portion of the two countries’ border that has been undefined for almost a century. The long-standing question of sovereignty over the area remains unresolved, but Prince Mohammed said resuming production is still possible.
Saudi Arabia currently has 1.3 MMbpd of spare capacity ready to be used if the market needs it, Prince Mohammed said. Output from the oil fields in the Neutral Zone would provide additional capacity, he said.
“We’re trying to convince the Kuwaitis to talk about the sovereignty issues, while continuing to produce until we solve that issue,” the crown prince said.
