About the project


Lower Fars is the first project of its kind in Kuwait. The onshore oil field known as Ratqa is estimated to contain huge volumes of heavy oil. Extracting heavy oil can be more time consuming and expensive than lighter crude because of its viscosity; however, the potential is huge.

MICC is installed in some of the most volatile and hazardous areas because it can withstand temperatures of 950C° over three hours whilst still maintaining circuit integrity. For sectors such as Oil, MICC is a vital tool to keep workers safe and to keep work going.
