Kuwait Oil Company (KOC), a subsidiary of the state-owned Kuwait Petroleum Corporation, announced a new natural gas discovery at the offshore Al-Jazah field. The discovery set a historical national production record for a vertical well, exceeding 29 million cubic feet per day (mmcf/d) of gas.

KOC estimates the potential gas reserves at the Al-Jazah field to be approximately 1 trillion cubic feet (tcf). The company stated that the reservoir is a technically and environmentally remarkable find, featuring low carbon dioxide levels, and is free from hydrogen sulfide and associated water.

This breakthrough follows a series of successful offshore explorations for KOC, including the Nokhatha field in 2024 and the Julaiah field in 2025.
