I know that there are many references that repeat Saddam's "claims" that Kuwait was slant drilling from their side of the field into Iraqi territory, but I haven't found any that showed that Iraqi claims, were in fact, correct. Good luck!! It's doubtful that such evidence would ever be available since Kuwait has no interest in confirming such an accusation. So it could all be just bluster and hype. Btw, Saddam was not innocent in this. He consistently refused to enter into an agreement with Kuwait that normally exists when two countries share a natural resource such as an oil or gas deposit. Each country will promise to share the resource and divide revenues derived from it according to a set percentage they both agree upon. Furthermore, there is evidence that in the late 1990's (after Desert Storm, of course) that he was over-producing the fields and causing depressurization (suggested by the unexplainable dramatic increases in Iraqi oil production in contrast to previous years). Thus, Iraq could stand accused of unecessarily depleting the viability of the fields, which would provide short-term revenue enhancement, but wind up leaving tremendous amounts of unrecoverable oil, long-term, as a result.
