Project Profile
Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) plans to install three new gathering centres, 29, 30 and 31, to handle increased crude production from fields in the North Kuwait operations zone.
The project includes three new gathering centres each designed to handle 100,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude, 240,000 bpd of water and 240 million cubic feet per day of associated gas. Engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts were signed in August 2014.
The North Kuwait Operations Zone produces about 700,000 bpd of oil and includes the Raudhatain, Sabriya, Ratqa, Umm Niqa and Abdali fields. KOC plans to increase production from the zone to 1 million bpd by 2020 through development of heavy oil and Jurassic reserves.
