	Rumaila Field - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Rumaila Field is an oil field in southern Iraq that also spills over into Kuwait, possession of this field led to disputes between Iraq and Kuwait and was one of reasons for Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1990.
		After the Iran-Iraq war, Iraq accused Kuwait of cheating on OPEC quotas and expoiting the Rumaila Oil field from underneath the border all the way to Iraq.
		This is one of the reasons why Iraq invaded Kuwait on August 2, 1990 entering the Gulf War.

		FIELDING: As you know, our task is to assemble facts in order to inform ourselves and then ultimately to inform the American public of the cause of this horrible event, and also to make recommendations to mitigate against the possibility that there will ever be another terrorist triumph on our homeland or against our people.
		FIELDING: And kind of related to that, we've heard testimony, a great deal of it, about the coordination that took place during the millennium threat in 1999 where there were a series of principals meetings and a lot of activity, as we are told, which stopped and prevented incidents.

		There is evidence, however, that capacity expansion at the main Kirkuk and Basra fields could be limited by the presence of water in the reservoirs, and the consequent need for de-emulsifying chemicals and other dewatering equipment.
		Field development work under the three phases would be extensive, with 33 fields containing 50 billion barrels of reserves and a potential production capability of 4.65 MMBD slated for eventual development.
		Smaller, undeveloped fields are located in northern and central Iraq and have estimated output capabilities of 450,000 bbl/d and 300,000 bbl/d, respectively.

		At present, control of transportation systems of crude oil from Iraq’s southern oil fields is carried out in a manual mode and, actually, due to the lack of intermediary storage capacity, a large percentage of crude oil is transferred almost directly from the producing fields to Mina al-Bakr.
		As the North Rumaila field was in critical need of a wet oil treatment plant to complement the rest of the programme, in the absence of incoming spares, various other plants were cannibalized.
		The response of the fields in the south to the water injection programmes has been better than expected, and is currently on an upward trend (which could stop suddenly because the injected water is not being filtered for fine solids).

		Yet from the vast Kirkuk oil field in the north to the patchwork of rich southern fields around Basra, Iraq's oil industry, once among the best-run and most smartly equipped in the world, is in tatters.
		The jump in production is expected to come from the Rumaila fields, the most prolific in the domain of South Oil Company, which before the latest war produced 2.1 million barrels a day.
		But an increase at Rumaila may be stymied by the total destruction by looters of Garmat Ali, a water treatment and pumping facility northwest of Basra.

		Rumaila, one of the causes of conflict between Iraq and Kuwait, is a super-giant about 80 kilometres long extending about 3.6 km into Kuwaiti claimed territory.
		The latter extension is most likely to be developed by Kuwait on a large scale and, according to Western experts, a part of Iraq's portion might be affected in future negotiations between the two countries to settle old territorial disputes.
		The field's production capacity on the Iraqi side had exceeded one million b/d by Aug. 2, 1990, when Saddam Hussein's troops invaded Kuwait.

		Bringing the war-idled oilfield workers back to their jobs would bring Rumaila a step closer to resuming oil production and exports that will both generate revenues needed to rebuild Iraq and continue the easing of world crude prices.
		Vincent Brooks told reporters that evidence of sabotage was still being found in the Rumaila field, but the damage was described as relatively minor and civilian workers were expected to return to the area in the near future.
