Al Durra gas field only owned by Saudi and Kuwait, says GCC: Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) ministers said the Al Durra gas field and its natural resources are only jointly owned by the Kingdom and Kuwait, according to a joint communique following the conclusion of the GCC ministerial meeting in Riyadh.
