Thanks for the great posts.

As a non-expert, I am hoping that one of you will expand on this for us - i.e. how is Burgan produced (water-injection,etc) and therefore is the mild decline projected by the IEA over the next 10 years realistic for a huge field like this, or do you expect a different rate - etc.

I hope someone with good information can respond to this. To expect a field that has clearly peaked to sustain such high production seems totally unreasonable. If the decline is similar to other giant fields, the decline could be very rapid, meaning Kuwait will probably have peaked this year. This is very significant news if true.
