• After the Gulf war, in February 1991, Kuwait’s

were damaged and set on fire, resulting

contamination of the land.

• Contamination of the environment occurred

spreading over the land surface and penetrated

subsurface to varying depths and formation

• Gushing oil and combustion products from oil

as heavy black smoke.

• After 24 years, these large oil lakes and oil

piles (~26 million cubic meters of heavily oil

soils) still exist in KOC oil field areas.

• This Unique Programme is currently

environmental inland cleanup in the world
