Kuwait launches major oil lake remediation project with Chinese firm Jereh


The project falls under the Kuwait Environmental Remediation Program (KERP), which aims to tackle oil pollution and environmental damage left by the 1990-1991 Gulf War, when around 700 oil wells were set ablaze, creating vast oil lakes and contaminating large swathes of soil. "Representing Chinese energy enterprises, Jereh is actively participating in the development of Kuwait's oil and gas industry and environmental protection, demonstrating the combined strength of Chinese manufacturing and services," said Zhuang Guanghua, president of Jereh Group's Middle East Region. During a visit to the project site on the same day, Liu Xiang, charge d'affaires of the Chinese Embassy in Kuwait, said Jereh's successful practice not only contributed Chinese expertise to Kuwait's environmental remediation efforts, but also showcased the international competitiveness of Chinese environmental equipment and engineering technology.
