<br/>
There are two - one south of Kuwait, and another west of Kuwait.  <br/>
Saudi maps show a border through the western one, through the lower <br/>
half of it, while other maps sometimes show no neutral zone and other <br/>
show a netural zone in a roughly diamond shape with no division in it.<br/>
<br/>
The Saudis and Kuwaitis split the eastern zone into two pieces in <br/>
1969, but left the oil concessions unaffected - meaning there could <br/>
still be Kuwait concessions in the Saudi part and Saudi operated <br/>
concessions in the Kuwait part.<br/>
<br/>
Somewhere I have details about the treaties that created them, but <br/>
couldn&#39;t readily find them.  I&#39;ll look further if need be.<br/>
<br/>
Regards<br/>
