6 - Kuwait Oil Company

Internal Event
A Display Center
for the Future
For more than 50 years, the KOC Display Center has served as one of
the Company’s most-visited landmarks. Established in 1956, the KOC
Display Center was built in order to share the story of the discovery and
production of oil in Kuwait with the public. Heads of state and international
diplomats, businessmen, students and the public have been guests to the
Display Center over the years. Soon, however, the KOC Display Center
will be moving to a brand new location near the entrance of Ahmadi.
The laying of the foundation stone and unveiling of official plans for the
Sheikh Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah Oil & Gas Display Center was held
recently during a tent ceremony at the proposed site where the Display
Center is to be built. Ahmadi Governor Sheikh Dr. Ibrahim Al-Duaij Al-
Sabah, KOC C&MD Sami Al-Rushaid, DMDs, Managers and other senior
staff and KOC employees attended the event to learn more about the project
and witness the official inauguration for construction of the project.
During the unveiling ceremony, Ahmadi Governor Sheikh Dr. Ibrahim
Al-Duaij Al-Sabah said that the Sheikh Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah
Oil & Gas Display Center will be a source of pride and a great asset
for Kuwait Oil Company, Ahmadi and Kuwait because of the role
it will serve as a scientific institute which tells the story of oil.
