D access to oil fields

The presence of oil fields in certain countries in Southwest Asia and North Africa can significantly boost their GDP, as oil is a valuable natural resource that can be exported for profit. Countries with limited access to oil fields may not have the same economic advantages, leading to disparities in per capita GDP.
