{'oil field country': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'kuwait': [1, 1, 5, 4], 'saudi arabia': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'iran': [0, 0, 1, 2], 'iraq': [9, 2, 8, 16], 'kirkuk': [1, 0, 1, 1], 'alqaiq': [0, 0, 1, 0]}

The given question tests our knowledge of oil fields and their respective countries. Let’s analyze each option to identify the pair that is not correctly matched.

Option 1 states that Kirkuk is located in Iraq. This is a correct match as Kirkuk is indeed an oil field in Iraq.

Option 2 states that Burgan is located in Kuwait. This is also a correct match as Burgan is the largest oil field in Kuwait.

Option 3 states that Alqaiq is located in Iran. This is the incorrect match. Alqaiq is not an oil field in Iran, rather it should be Kharg Island.

Option 4 states that Safaniya is located in Saudi Arabia. This is a correct match as Safaniya is one of the largest offshore oil fields in the world, which is located in Saudi Arabia.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3, as the pair Alqaiq: Iran is not correctly matched.

Alert - correct answer should be Option 3: Alqaiq: Iran
