The Kuwaiti oil fields are linked to a wide network of gathering centers, which serve as a site for collecting crude oil produced in many wells connected to flow lines, as gathering centers in the country provide initial treatment by separating associated gas and removing salt. Over the past few years, there have been a few new project announcements in the oil and gas sector in Kuwait.
