KOC boosts production with launch of JPF 4 and JPF 5

The Kuwait Oil Company has commenced operations at its latest Jurassic production stations, JPF 4 and JPF 5, located in northern Kuwait. These stations are set to contribute 320 million cubic feet per day of associated gas and 100 thousand barrels per day of light oil, effectively increasing production capacity by approximately 50% from the current 630 million cubic feet to an anticipated 950 million cubic feet in the near future.

The company emphasized the utilization of cutting-edge technologies in gas desalination and sulfur extraction units to streamline the acid gas treatment process. Despite facing challenges such as the Ukrainian-Russian war, rising material prices, shipping costs, and pandemic-related disruptions, Kuwait Oil Company successfully completed construction on schedule without significant incidents or changes to the contract, reports Al-Qabas daily.
