A delegation from the International Women’s Group (IWG), headed by Mrs. Ghada Shawky, President of IWG and wife of the ambassador of the Arab Republic of Egypt, paid a field visit to Ahmad Al Jaber Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) Exhibition in Ahmadi on Sunday, May 14, 2023.
An organized tour was arranged where members were received by Mrs. Rawan Al Jaber and Mrs. Ayah Dashti. Members were given an overview of the Exhibition history from its inception; named after HH Sheikh Ahmad Al-Jaber Al Sabah in whose reign the birth of the oil industry began.
While visiting the galleries, members enjoyed an overview that covered themes of oil geology, exploration, extraction and exportation, including Kuwaiti history and the devastating environmental consequences of burning oil wells during the invasion. An exciting 15-minute 4D film, with pyrotechnics and surround sound was displayed for the guests, who were astounded by the enormous achievement of extinguishing the fire of more than 700 oil wells in 1991, in merely 9 months.
At the end of the visit, Mrs. Ghada Shawky presented an honorary shield on behalf of the group to express gratitude for the fruitful visit to the KOC Exhibition.
