Which one of the following pairs (Country – Oil field) is not correctly matched ?
Explanation
The incorrectly matched pair is Kuwait – Kashagan. The Kashagan field is a massive offshore oil field located in the Caspian Sea, belonging to Kazakhstan. It is one of the largest oil discoveries of the last few decades and is not located in Kuwait. Kuwait's most famous oil field is the Greater Burgan field.
The other pairs are correctly matched:
- Haft Kel is a significant oil field located in the Khuzestan Province of Iran.
- Dhahran is the administrative center of the Saudi Arabian oil industry and the site where the first commercial oil was discovered in the kingdom (Dammam No. 7).
- Zubair is a major oil field located in southern Iraq, near the city of Basra.
