Kuçova oil field is an Albanian oil field that was discovered in 1928. It is the second biggest on-shore oil field of Albania, after the Patos-Marinza Oil Field.[1] The Kuçova oil field is located near the town of Kuçovë, 30 kilometres (19 mi) east of the city of Fier in south central Albania. Its proven reserves are about 490 million barrels (78×10^6 m3).[2][3]

The field is operated by Albpetrol and Sherwood International Petroleum.[4]
