Kuwait is facing a delay in developing the offshore Dorra natural-gas field as Saudi Arabia, which co-owns the deposit, wants to change the delivery point of the fuel, according to an official.

Engineering and design work were undertaken on the project based on shipment of gas to the partners offshore at the production site and Saudi Arabia now wants the fuel to be delivered elsewhere, Hashim al-Rifaai, chairman and managing director of Kuwait Gulf Oil Co., told reporters in Dubai today.
