Kuwait, 3 September, 2014: Kuwait Energy (the “Company”), an independent oil and gas company with assets across the MENA region, today announces an update on its financial and corporate activities during the second quarter of 2014.

Kuwait Energy average daily working interest production is 5.6 % higher and its revenue is 7.4% higher than in the previous quarter. Compared to the corresponding period a year ago production and revenue are up (9.0) % and 12.6% respectively.
At the end of the second quarter of 2014, the Company’s outstanding receivables from the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC) were US$124 million as a result of collecting US$70 million in cash during the second quarter. On 9 July, a US$26 million oil cargo was received.

In line with the Company’s strategy to consolidate its asset portfolio to focus on the MENA region, we have also disposed of our Ukrainian assets.”
