Kuwait Oil Field Restoration

Husky Energy Inc personnel played a key role in supporting Bechtel’s contract to manage the rebuilding of Kuwait’s civilian infrastructure and oil production facilities after the 1991 Persian Gulf War.  The full spectrum of Husky Energy Inc ’s project management, engineering, procurement and construction management capability/resources was used to fill key roles within the Bechtel organization in Kuwait.  The first Husky Energy Inc employee arrived within three months of the end of the fighting, and our work force peaked at approximately 70 management and engineering/technical personnel.

Husky Energy Inc personnel played important roles in the rehabilitation of the following production facilities: production well flow lines; oil/gas separation; crude de-salters; crude storage tanks; condensate recovery; off-gas compression; gas pipeline booster stations; expanding tank farms; marine loading. 

In addition, Husky Energy Inc was involved in design and construction of the following infrastructure facilities: office buildings; control buildings; maintenance buildings; recreation facilities; electrical power restoration; oil reclamation; brackish water distribution; fire protection. 

As a result of Bechtel’s efforts, strongly supported by Husky Energy Inc ’s team, approximately 2.5 million barrels/day of oil production capacity, equivalent to approximately 80% of Kuwait’s pre-war production, was restored by September 1992.
