At the time when the oil sector is entering a new phase of expansion and development, it is also concurrently witnessing a construction boom.

KPC and most of its subsidiaries are adding the final touches to new headquarter buildings.
After years of renting office areas in commercial buildings, the oil companies are relocating  to their new office buildings that combine aesthetic design with utility. This stems from a keen desire to ensure the most appropriate and comfortable work environment that is conducive to productivity. The following report highlights the new office buildings of KPC, KNPC and KOC.
Oil Complex
In the heart of Kuwait’s Capital, overlooking the beautiful Arabian Gulf Coast stands a very magnificent building whose final finishing is in progress. The building is the long awaited new oil complex, which will unite all KPC employees under one umbrella. The spectacularly designed building is expected to become one of the architectural landmarks of Kuwait and one, which embodies KPC’s image in harmony with its achievements. In addition to KPC employees, the complex will also include Ministry of Energy employees.
Ever since establishment in 1980, KPC has occupied scattered offices in Al Salhiya Complex in Kuwait City. The increase in employees and departments, forced KPC to rent additional offices in the nearby Anwar Al Sabah Complex, Al Sahab Complex and the Al Salam Tower.
KPC’s management was keen to construct a building that is truly aesthetically unique and has all the modern safety systems, and everything to ensure the ideal work environment for the employee, comparable with the best that can be found to be seen anywhere in the world. The work place is designed to provide optimum lighting, sound insulation and privacy. A luxurious cafeteria, directly overlooking the magical waters of our Gulf adds a new dimension to the experience of working at the Oil Sector Complex, as employees can have their meals while they are at work. A bank branch  and a travel office add further convenience for the benefit of the employees. A number of elegant, well-furnished meeting rooms, a modern dealing room equipped with state-of-the-art communication and other equipment, a sophisticated information centre and free, shaded parking are only a few of the main benefits.
New KNPC Building
KNPC’s new office building has been described as “an architectural piece of art”. It stands out due to its application of modern concepts of design, construction and technology. It is strategically positioned on the outskirts of Ahmadi city in proximity to Ahmadi, Shuaiba and Mina Abdullah Refineries.
The project’s façade takes unique architectural shape. The building looks like a huge model of half a violin. It lies between two opposite angles on a semi rectangular piece of land. Its total land area is 4,120 square metres with the constructed area occupying 5,500 square metres only.
The rest is distributed between aesthetic scenes, a water pool and car parking. Ahmadi City is expected soon to inaugurate, exactly at its entrance, this architectural piece of art for one of KPC’s subsidiaries, which will provide the area with one of the most advanced edifices in the oil sector anywhere in the world.
The building consists of a basement, and 6 floors. The basement is designed to accommodate electrical, mechanical and air conditioning services, water tanks and some stores.
The ground floor is designed to accommodate a cafeteria, auditorium, theatre, library, place for prayers and a clinic, in addition to the main entrance and the offices of the General Services Department. The administrative offices are distributed from the ground floor to the fifth floor, where higher management offices are located.
New KOC Office Building
By the end of 2006, a new KOC office building is expected to be completed in Ahamdi city. The new building will have an innovative architectural structure and is built near KOC’s main office headquarters.
The design bears a loose resemblance to a university campus. It will include 6 adjacent buildings each consisting of two floors except for one building with three floors. The building will accommodate around 2,000 employees. It will also include a mosque, cafeteria, reception hall, and other service buildings.
The six buildings are divided to accommodate departmental groups and are all connected by air-conditioned bridges. The scenic office compound will include large expanses of greenery, water fountains, and glass apertures, which allow natural light to permeate the offices.
