Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) has awarded Worley the Project Management Consultants (PMC) contract for the project management of Kuwait Environmental Remediation Programme (KERP) for an additional five years.
KERP, initiated by the United Nations, is one of the largest remediation and restoration programmes in the world, to remediate legacy oil-contamination within KOC oilfields, which were damaged in the 1991 Gulf War.
Under the contract, Worley is responsible for the management of the KERP and various aspects of environmental remediation and management.
Worley’s PMC services will be provided through Worley’s offices in Kuwait. “We’re pleased to continue our work with Kuwait Oil Company on this globally significant environmental remediation project, which is consistent with our purpose of delivering a more sustainable world,” said Chris Ashton, Chief Executive Officer of Worley.
