Kuwait said there has been no change to the status quo of field, which lies on the continental shelf between Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Iran.
The field has been a bone of contention between Tehran and Kuwait since the 1960s. Iran, which calls the field Arash, said in 2012 it planned to develop the portion under its control.
"The Foreign Ministry is taking all the necessary measures to safeguard the rights of the state of Kuwait within the context of reinforcing its ties on the regional and international levels and which conform to international law," the Kuwaiti ministry said in statement.
