 LOCATED IN SOUTHERN KUWAIT.  IRAQI FORCES HAVE SABOTAGED
 [(b)(1) sec 3.4 (b)(1)]  WELLS IN THE AL WAFRAH OILFIELD ALONG THE SAUD1
 KUWAIT BORDER.

 THE AL MAKAQISH OILFIELD PRODUCED UP TO 70,000 BARRELS PER
 DAY FROM 26 WELLS. THE FIRES IN THIS FIELD COULD BE A RESULT OF -
 IRAQI OILFIELD SABOTAGE, PERHAPS TO CREATE A SMOKESCREEN FOR
 FRONTLINE TROOPS ALTHOUGH NUMEROUS BOMB CRATERS DOT THE AREA:
 OF THE BURNING WELLS PRODUCE A DEEP, HIGH PRESSURE OIL RESERVOIR
 WHICH HAS A HIGH CONCENTRATION OF DEADLY HYDROGEN SULFIDE GAS AND
  COULD BE VERY DIFFICULT TO BRING UNDER CONTROL.  THE IRAQIS APPEARED
TO HAVE ALSO SABOTAGED THE WELLS IN THE LOW-PRESSURE AL WAFRAH OIL-
 FIELD, BUT MOST OF THESE FIRES HAVE ALREADY BURNED OUT.
