Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

End Report
2.(C) Explanatory Comments:
Wafra Joint Operations refer to onshore concessions in
Saudi-Kuwait divided zone operated by Saudi Arabian Texaco
(SAT). R/B refers to the two producing reservoirs -- Ratawi
and Burgan.
KOC is Kuwait Oil Company
KNPC is Kuwait National Petroleum Corporation
KGOC is the Kuwaiti successor to Arabian Oil Company (AOC),
which previously operated a concession in the offshore
portions of the Saudi-Kuwait divided zone -- AOC still
operates the fields under a service agreement.
KEC refers to Kuwait Export Crude, the country's export
blend. Salt PTB appears to refer to pounds of salt per
thousand barrels of crude oil; however, a senior KPC official
tells us the 'T' is extraneous and the term refers to 'parts
per billion.'
