‘Fluor wins $334m Kuwait work’

State oil explorer Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) has handed a $334 million consultancy deal to US engineering and services company Fluor.

Fluor would provide consultancy services to manage unidentified projects and parts of its activities in the next five years, extending a previous agreement. The deal would help KOC to improve its production, KOC chief executive Sami al-Rushaid said.
