Shell in Kuwait

About Shell Kuwait

Shell has been operating in Kuwait since 1948, bringing Kuwait’s crude oil to international markets. Shell Petroleum Development Kuwait was born in 1961. From those early days, Shell’s business with Kuwait developed to include exploration, oil trading, lubricants, technical service and in joint studies on Kuwait’s upstream sector since the mid-1990s. Shell continues to supply Kuwait with LNG since 2010 to help meet the state’s growing energy demand and contribute to reducing emissions and improve local air quality.

Shell Companies in Kuwait operates through its corporate team located at Kuwait City where we aspire to be the partner of choice for Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) across the oil and gas value chain, locally and internationally.

Partnerships

We are pleased with the multitude of our partnerships with Kuwait, all delivered through our strategic KPC-Shell Cooperation Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) building on our strong relationship which has been ongoing for decades. 

We have been working with Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) since early 2010 supporting with Shell technical experts and working together with KOC in managing the ongoing development of numerous North Kuwait field projects.

 

Social Investment

Shell is committed to deploying innovative technologies, supporting local staff development and building project management capabilities for KPC and subsidiary companies. Capacity building and knowledge transfer are a key component of every support project we have undertaken with the K-Companies.

Shell is keen to continue contributing to achieving the Kuwaiti vision of 2035. With our Kuwaiti partners, Shell has launched the Intilaaqah program, part of Shell's Global LiveWire Social Investment Initiatives, which supports entrepreneurs to set up businesses, create jobs, generate sources of income for communities by helping to find innovative solutions to support the diversification of the economy. This program has had great success in providing support and advice for young entrepreneurs across eight countries in the Middle-East and runs in 16 participating countries globally with more than 35 years’ experience.

Shell is pleased to be part of Kuwait’s journey and we look forward to continuing to build on our long and fruitful relationship with our partners from the K-Companies and to support The State of Kuwait in reaching its strategic objectives in the energy sector.
