Abstract
This Agreement indicates the geographical co-ordinates which form the maritime boundary line separating the territorial sea, the exclusive economic zone and the continental shelf of the Sultanate of Oman and the Republic of Yemen. The two Parties assert the right of each country to exercise sovereign rights and jurisdiction over its boundary for the purposes of exploration, exploitation, conservation and management of the natural resources, both living and non-living, of the seabed, subsoil and the superadjacent waters, in accordance with the demarcation set forth in article I of this Agreement. Without prejudice to the boundary line provided for in this Agreement, the two Parties may agree to form a joint commission of the two countries to prepare annexes regulating all matters relevant to this Agreement. The Agreement also provides in respect of exploitation of petroleum resources in the event that a single gas field or any other mineral or natural resource or deposit is found to extend across the boundary line.
