business, and elevating the status of this generous country”.
He added, “We all realize the great challenges and obstacles

said about life: “Life is full of stones, don’t stumble; but
collect them and build stairs to climb to success”.
We must all work hand in hand, and dedicate our work,
putting in mind the love for our homeland and fear of God.
And our slogan will be always as our Prophet (May Allah

and gifts amid the applauses of the attendees and their good
wishes.
Then Mr. Bader Al-Khashti took the floor saying, “In
these circumstances, a man can’t express his feelings,
as throughout my work for those three years with our
colleagues, I had felt the spirit of cooperation, as only by
teamwork, objectives can be achieved”. He added that,
“This admiration is a crown on our heads to be proud of, as
this is a good custom in KGOC. We have known colleagues

we haven’t met since a year or more. Honouring is a good
custom in the Oil Sector, for the Oil Sector is honestly like a
golden sector or even like diamond or any other precious
gems. Sometimes we don’t see each other due to certain
1St May Quarter 2012 20105
circumstances, nevertheless the Oil Sector deserves our devotion and sacrifice, as it has brought up many generations for this
country, has elevated the status of our homeland, and has embraced us for many years. Yet some people couldn’t embrace
their brothers, hence I hope to preserve our country through unity and broad-mindedness as we can continue to raise the
status of our dear homeland only by staying together with each other”.
Later, everyone was invited to a dinner buffet in a friendly, family atmosphere where all of them kept recounting the good old
memories and exchanging best wishes to each other.

staff, in which the lecturer stressed the importance of food and sports in maintaining
human health. Mr. Abdulla pointed out that food routines (diet) followed by people to

into two types: aerobic exercises such as walking, running and cycling, and
weight-bearing exercises, which are done using weights in sports exercises. He

and balance both types of exercises,
as the first just burns calories, while

Best Practices Exchange Conference
Al-Zanki: Heavy Oil Production
is a significant part of KPC
2030 Strategy
Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) held its third annual conference
for exchanging best practices in participation with KPC
upstream subsidiaries, under the auspices of Mr. Farouk
Al-Zanki, KPC CEO on Sunday 13 th May 2012, where they
exchanged knowledge and technical best practices that
have been applied successfully in any of the participating
companies.
Heavy Oil Production - a major element of KPC 2030 Strategy
Mr. Farouk Al-Zanki, KPC CEO, said that Heavy Oil Production is a significant point
in KPC 2030 Strategy. He stressed that the production of heavy oil is closely related
to the new refinery project, which adds further value to the refinery itself, as part of
the heavy oil will be transported to the new refinery project.
He added that the corporate strategy aims to achieve a production rate between
200–267 thousand barrels per day of heavy oil by 2030, and this will contribute
besides other types to maintain the production rate of 4 million bpd. This requires
the commencement of planning and establishment of production capacity to
manage heavy oil as it is far different from other types of oil.
Al-Zanki explained that the process of steam injection is one of the challenges that
faces the production of heavy oil in Kuwait, which requires highest quality to get
the best results from reservoirs. Lack of appropriate control of these operations
can lead to failure in achieving 100% from the required steam, causing a failure in
the removal of the viscosity of heavy oil, leading to the inability of its extraction in
the best form.
Developing and nurturing staff competencies
Al-Zanki affirmed the need to develop and foster staff capabilities in this realm to
attain the best anticipated results, indicating that Kuwaiti cadres have expertise and
knowledge in the field of heavy oil through survey, meetings, conferences, dealing
with advisors and mutual visits with countries that have heavy oil. Production of
heavy oil is not new to oil industry.
Al-Zanki pointed out that KOC works in line with the ambitious 2030 strategy and
operations are carried out in stages. The first phase is the pilot phase: that will
enable us to achieve field experience and expand in production after reviewing
economic and productive revenues. We will then create competencies either using
national potential or with the involvement of some international companies that
have extensive experience in the field of extracting heavy oil.
Al-Rushaid: the Kuwaiti current production capacity is 3 million bpd,
including the Divided Zone
Mr. Sami Al-Rushaid, KOC C&MD, said that Kuwait’s current production capacity is
3 million bpd including the Divided Zone, and it may rise to 3.1 bpd or sometimes
less than this, yet 3 million bpd in an average, stressing that “KOC” is maintaining
this level, and that the company’s gas production range is between 130 and 140
million cubic feet per day.
He added that heavy oil facilities are still at the design phase, hoping to be
completed by next September and
if the required budget is adopted,
indicating that these facilities include
a gathering centre that differs from
common centres as it utilizes steam
injection techniques.
Al-Rushaid stated that the company
has a future vision for achieving its
plans, and it has developed a roadmap
to make it real by taking advantage of
specialized international companies in
extracting heavy oil.
In relation to gas, Al-Rushaid said that
it represents an important element
in “KOC’s” strategy, and that of
KPC. Although there is some delay
in implementing gas projects, the
company strives hard to overcome the
obstacles it faces to compensate this
delay.
Al-Rifaai: Kuwait’s Share of oil
production in the Divided Zone
amounts to 257 thousand bpd
Mr. Hashim Al-Rifaai, KGOC C&MD,
said that Kuwait’s total share from
crude oil production in the Divided Zone
is 157 thousand bpd after the division
of production equally with Saudi side.
He stressed that the company is trying
to maintain this production rate. It
intensifies drilling operations, improve
production programs, upgrade facilities
as some of them are too old, and this
requires acceleration of capital projects,
to maintain the company’s capacity.
He also stated that the company is
trying to implement steam flood pilot
technique in 49 wells, and the results
seemed positive within 6 months in 6
wells. As for gas production, Al-Rifaai
said that KGOC gas production is 30
million cubic feet per day. Adding to
that, offshore operations is the second
wing of KGOC, and it represents half of
the company, if not more, underlining
the parallel development plan and
budget according to what is included
in the five-year plan.
Hashim: Production of North
Kuwait fields reached 700
thousand bpd
Mrs. Hosnia Hashim, DMD of North
Kuwait, KOC, and president of the
conference said that the production
of North Kuwait fields reached 700
thousand bpd at present, and it is
1St May Quarter 2012 201015
anticipated to reach 800 thousand bpd by next March. The company seeks to
produce a billion cubic feet from free gas by 2017 – 2018.
The Conference discussed 165 work papers
Mrs. Hashim stated that this conference is held for the third consecutive year
under the auspices of Mr. Sami Al-Rasheed, KOC C&MD, indicating that such
conferences have a great benefit as they contribute in the perusal of new ideas
and new experiences. This conference will discuss 165 working papers which will
be raised over the two days. During the conference, there will be an exchange of
information and sharing of technical practices that were conducted in KOC and
other participating companies.
The conference had many pros in the past two years, as it had created a kind of
cooperation among the staff in the participating companies to get acquainted with
the experiences and expertise while taking advantage of them. Explaining that the
challenges faced by the oil sector in Kuwait are great, she said the most important of
this is injecting steam into the ground to increase pressure, to augment production.
These projects will boost production because we have several reservoirs and will
apply this method to them. Though it is not a new method, it is the most suitable
for the time being on these reservoirs, and we review it in the conference to benefit
from the experiences in relation to oil and gas production along with topics like how
to increase oil reserves, how to train staff, as all work papers within the conference
will be dealt to give us an idea about what the best practices are in corresponding
aspects.
Mrs. Hashim also mentioned that the subject reviewed in her work paper is ‘the
corporate’s vision in various sectors in KOC and the impeding challenges to boost
production from 3 to 4 million bpd.’
