In February 1991, near the end of the Gulf War, Iraqi troops systematically destroyed and set fire to 750 oil wells across Kuwait. Approximately 4 to 6 million barrels of crude oil and 70 to 100 million cubic meters of natural gas burned each day for weeks.

KERP - PROJECT BACKGROUND• After the Gulf war, in February 1991, Kuwait’s oil wells
were damaged and set on fire, resulting in oil contamination of the land.
• Contamination of the environment occurred from oil spreading over the land surface and penetrated the soil subsurface to varying depths and formation of oil lakes.
• Gushing oil and combustion products from oil fires as well as heavy black smoke.
• After 24 years, these large oil lakes and oil contaminated piles (~26 million cubic meters of heavily oil contaminated soils) still exist in KOC oil field areas.
• This Unique Programme is currently the largest environmental inland cleanup in the world.

RISK BASED APPROACH
1. The RBA provides the vehicle to minimize any unnecessary remedial activity
2. Derive risk based, site-specific clean up criteria (SSAC) for contaminants
4. Agree the steps and clean-up criteria with stakeholders
3. Determine remediation areas and priorities
5. Use risk assessments to determine re-use, no action, or limited action

RISK ASSESSMENT
RISKHazard Exposure
Receptor
Risk assessment is a tool to evaluate potential risks to human health and the environment.Quantitative Risk Assessment is used to develop remediation/corrective target goals and prioritize areas.Risk => Hazard X Exposure X Receptor
