I recall seeing maps of where the known Kuwaiti and Iraqi oil fields are and there is nothing to that claim that Kuwait could steal Iraqi oil by "slant drilling." At the time the directional drilling done today wasn't even a gleam in some engineer's mind. And there's a practical limit on how far you can drill horizontally. I think the max is now something like 7 miles .... to tap reserves offshore Sakhalin island from an onshore rig.
