Kuwait’s oil production

Kuwait’s state-owned Kuwait Petroleum Co. plans to raise production capacity to 3.5 million b/d by 2025 and 4 million b/d by 2040, but analysts say even this maybe an uphill task.

Kuwait’s main source of supply is the massive Greater Burgan field, the world’s second largest, which is already producing at up to 95% of its capacity, with its about 1.6 million b/d of output sustained through a mix of gas injection and water flooding.

Over the medium term, Kuwait is expected to see incremental production of heavy oil from the second phase of the Lower Fars development, set to come online by 2023, adding up to 200,000 b/d by the end of the decade.

Fields in the Neutral Zone are also expected to add to Kuwait’s output, though no projects have been sanctioned yet.
