The Observer
The leader of the London-based Iraqi National Congress, Ahmed Chalabi, has met executives of three US oil multinationals to negotiate the carve-up of Iraq's massive oil reserves post-Saddam."

Si se refiere a las compañías petrolíferas utilizaría "división" -

En cambio, si se refiere (como el ejemplo) a las reservas utilizaría "reparto" de las reservas.
