KOC to Soon Commission JPF-4 Facility

State-owned upstream operator Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) and the engineering contractor Spetco expect to complete the commissioning of the oil and gas facility known as Jurassic production facility 4 (JPF-4) this week.

 

All of the final stages of this project have gone to plan and commissioning should be completed within the next seven days. The introduction of oil and gas to JPF-4 took place on 18 December, ahead of the contractual timelines.

 

Spetco owns and operates the JPF-3 facility, which is already operational, as well as the JPF-4 facility that is being commissioned.

 

The completion of commissioning of JPF-5 is expected to come at some point in the future. An official visit to the JPF-4 and JPF-5 sites took place on 18 February. During the visit, KOC chief executive Ahmad Al Eidan briefed senior officials from parent company Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) on the ongoing preparations for the official launch of the company's Jurassic production facilities.

 

The KPC officials included the company's chief executive Shaikh Nawaf Al Sabah. The two projects are among the largest active projects in Kuwait's oil and gas sector, making them “an essential part of KPC's 2040 development strategy”.
