Rumaila FieldThe Rumaila Field is an oil field in southern Iraq that also spills over into Kuwait, possession of this field led to disputes between Iraq and Kuwait and was one of reasons for Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1990. After the Iran-Iraq war, Iraq accused Kuwait of cheating on OPEC quotas and expoiting the Rumaila Oil field from underneath the border all the way to Iraq. This is one of the reasons why Iraq invaded Kuwait on August 2, 1990 entering the Gulf War.
