Under the patronage and in the presence of His Excellency the Minister of Oil, Tariq Sulaiman Al-Roumi, KOC celebrated the commencement of production at the Mutriba oil field.
This special ceremony was held in the KOC Tent in Ahmadi and was attended by several senior officials in the oil sector, including KPC CEO Sheikh Nawaf Saud Nasser Al-Sabah, KOC CEO Ahmad Jaber Al-Eidan, KNPC CEO Wadha Al-Khateeb, and Ag. KGOC CEO Bader Al-Munaifi. Also in attendance was Olivier Le Peuch, CEO of SLB (formerly Schlumberger), one of the key companies involved in the project.
The ceremony featured a speech by KOC CEO Ahmad Jaber Al-Eidan, who acknowledged the numerous challenges encountered during the field's development and highlighted the Company's success in effectively addressing and overcoming them. He pointed out that KOC worked diligently to accelerate the operation of the field so it could join Kuwait's currently producing fields and help meet both local and global market demands, especially since the field produces light crude oil, which is highly sought after in international markets.
Following the speech, a video presentation provided historical context about the field and showcased its current status with the commencement of production. This was followed by remarks from DCEO Exploration & Drilling Khaled Al-Mulla, who spoke about the significance of this achievement.
The ceremony concluded with the presentation of commemorative gifts to Minister Al-Roumi, the CEO of KPC, and the CEO of SLB.
It is worth noting that commercial production at Mutriba Field officially began on June 15, 2025, after the successful connection of several wells to the Company's production facilities. The field is located in an undeveloped area lacking infrastructure in northwest Kuwait and spans more than 230 square kilometers.
