Kuwait Energy classifies its recordable incidents as Fatalities, Lost Time Incidents, Restricted Work Incidents and
Medical Treatment Incidents.
The
lone LTI incident for the period
was at the Block 9 concession in Iraq. The LTI occurred when 2 local workers
deliberately and recklessly crossed a minefield barricade leading to an ERW being triggered, causing injuries to both
men. Thankfully, due to the onsite medical facilities and trained medical team, both individuals were administered
swiftmedical care before being evacuated via seismic ambulance to Basra hospital. Operations at Block 9 were halted
for a day to allow Kuwait Energy staff to carry out a
thorough investigation into the incident
.
The table below provides the number of days without LTI at the end of March 2017 compared to figures at the end
of 2016 for the countries in which Kuwait Energy operates:

Production
At the end of the reporting period, Kuwait Energy achieved
average daily WI production
of
26,941 boepd
. The
2016
average daily WI production
as reported in the last QAR was
24,573 boepd
; the current YTD average for 2017 is
nearly 10% higher than that for 2016.
Thanks to the commencement of production from the Faihaa-3 well, as part of our
Block 9 Fast-Track development
program,
Kuwait Energy’s Block 9
average daily WI production stands at over 10,000 boepd.
These levels will
increase throughout the year as we continue to drill more wells on the concession.
Block 9 production for the reporting period has been lower than anticipated; this is primarily due to
production
being purposely limited as the Company carried out necessary upgrade works to the facilities
. The upgrade works,
which are now complete, were a necessity to allow for the storage and processing of the
anticipated increases in
production at Block 9 for 2017 and beyond
.
In Egypt,
production targets for YTD 2017 have been exceeded
, with
Egyptian average daily WI production of
16,338 boepd
. The exceeded Egyptian target is primarily due to our efficient work over and well management
program.
