BASRA / Aswat al-Iraq: Oil expert Abduljabar al-Halafi on Friday highlighted the importance of signing an agreement to benefit from potential oilfields between Iraq and neighboring countries.

“There are no joint oilfields between Iraq and neighboring countries, but there are potential geographic reserves on borders,” al-Halafi told Aswat al-Iraq news agency.

“The use of any part of these oilfields does not consider a violation as long as these operations held inside its territories,” he noted.

“Kuwait has high technological capabilities regarding extracting oil, and could use them in determining these oilfields,” he said.
