Executive Summary

In 2013, Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) awarded Fluor a five-year project management consulting (PMC) contract for several projects and upstream facilities such as booster stations, gathering centers and pipelines. This was the third KOC award since 2003 for Fluor to continue performing in the country-wide PMC role. Our office in Farnborough, UK provided front-end engineering and design (FEED), and PMC services were provided from our offices in Kuwait.

Client's Challenge

The KOC's responsibilities include the exploration, drilling and production of oil and gas within the State of Kuwait. The company is also involved in the storage of crude oil and delivery to tankers for export.

The FEED work was needed for KOC's new facilities and upgrading of existing facilities. KOC also required increased oil production and export capabilities to meet its 2020 year goals.
