19 Preface As photographs are one of the most significant means of documentation all over the world since they are capable of conveying realistically the incident and keeping it in memory for several decades; in addition, they root in the spectator's mind all incidents taking place and epitomize the field work; Petroleum Media Department at Oil Ministry; according to its belief in the importance of documentation and archiving in nations' life, has opted to document the ostensible development journey of State of Kuwait since oil was discovered up to development phases achieved in Kuwait's oil installations. Consequently, the department has worked on issuing this new edition to document the history of petrol stations in State of Kuwait. This book documents with pictures several significant phases of the history of Kuwait Oil Company Ltd. which was earlier in charge of supervising the phases of exploring and extracting oil as well as its derivatives. The book also spotlights the ostensible development phases accomplished in petrol stations after Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC) has undertaken the responsibility of supervising them. During that phase, petrol stations have been copiously launched in Kuwait as a logical and direct result of the constructional, social and economic development the country has witnessed. The book further documents a very focal phase in KNPC's history; it is privatization which the latter has approved believing that petrol stations are not only stations tasked to provide services for vehicles such fuelling and changing their oil, but it –

21 Preface KNPC – perceives that petrol stations epitomize one of the aesthetical aspects in most of the modern countries all over the world. Thus, it has approved privatization which has observably changed concepts related to petrol stations in Kuwait. Accordingly, Petroleum Media Department has decided to divide this book into chapters; each of them underlines an essential era in the history of petrol stations in State of Kuwait starting from the phase of importing fuel and transporting it to consumers through primordial means up to the tangible development accomplished under the supervision of Kuwait Oil Company Ltd.; however, this is spotlighted copiously in the first chapter. Meanwhile, the second chapter dubbed \"Launch\" has been allotted to underscore petrol stations after they have become affiliated to KNPC. This phase is of great magnitude in the history of Kuwait's petrol stations. Furthermore, the third and fourth chapters have been allotted to document privatization phase which has been initiated with Oula Fuel Marketing Company and then Soor Fuel Marketing Company.

25 Historical synopsis Long time ago, black patches looking like to rough asphalt, which was used earlier by Kuwaitis to cure camels infected with mange, the first primitive transport in the Arabian Gulf Zone, came into sight in the Kuwaiti desert. However, these patches spurred Britons, who were looking for oil in the region, to conduct the first geological survey in 1913. Although the results of that survey did not ensure that there is oil in Kuwait’s desert, the attempts of drilling were not suspended. These attempts were initiated from Bahra zone along south Kuwait particularly in Burgan Field from which oil was firstly extracted in 1983 when a new start of the modern history of State of Kuwait was registered. After extracting oil from Burgan Field, it was necessary to launch operations of developing and rehabilitating that field for commercial production; yet World War II, which was waged within that era, suspended these operations until 1946. However, in that year, the first cargo of Kuwaiti crude oil was exported through “British Fusilier” tanker when Late Sheikh Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah revolved a silver wheel fixed on board the tanker; since then Kuwait began to develop all fields. When the Kuwaiti oil industry began to develop ostensibly at that time, the need became stringent for the British and Kuwaiti laborers who are working in exploration and production fields to provide rapid and modern transport such vehicles, aircrafts as Kuwait was basically depending on camels and donkeys. That pressing need provoked officials to provide these modern transport means with petrol which was imported through small vessels.

27 Historical synopsis Additionally, petrol was fuelled in small containers whose capacity is four or five gallons or very few barrels for each. These containers were loaded on wooden carriages pulled by horses and donkeys to be distributed on interested customers. But, these carriages were later on replaced with small half-lorries which undertook the responsibility of distributing fuel. It is worth mentioning that one of Al-Omar’s family members regarded this growing demand on petrol; therefore, he took a decision to establish a petrol station, which was the first station established in Kuwait. It was a small station run manually through petrol and kerosene provided by tankers. Two of Al- Omar’s named Khalid and Abdulaziz Al-Omar nicknamed at that time “Al- Omar Qaz” – Al-Omar patrol – worked and sold normal petrol at that station since “Premium and Super” were not yet recognized. It is noteworthy that another family invaded this field named “Hassan Qaz”. Thus, fuel was being sold through this primordial manner until petrol stations equipped with simple apparatuses were launched in late 1940s. However, Kuwait had to import petrol and kerosene until Kuwait Oil Company Ltd. built a distillation unit no.1; yet its capacity was humble comparing to the local market’s need from fuel required for running steams and tankers which transport the Kuwaiti crude oil to the international markets. Undoubtedly, this unit epitomized the first atom for the most important refinery in Kuwait and maybe on the territorial level; it is Mina Al-Ahmadi Refinery. At the same time, Kuwait Oil Company Ltd. established a special unit to manage the local products such as petrol and kerosene. This unit has further undertaken

29 Historical synopsis the responsibility of following up in-progress local marketing operations. The company, moreover, sought to establish a petrol station in Ahmadi City to meet the needs of vehicles and modern machines which were then used to update and develop oil industry in Kuwait. That Ahmadi station was the first station established in Kuwait on an area of 6940 sq/m; in addition, it included six fuel pumps. Actually, petrol stations were not very sophisticated in the past comparing to their current counterparts in terms of several aspects such as pumps of fuelling vehicles as these pumps were previously run by generators which need in return diesel to be operated. Moreover, these pumps were provided with a meter specifies the number of sold out liters. Another important aspect distinguishes the current stations is security and safety measurements which were epitomized only in the old stations by a number of manual and primitive extinguishers. Coinciding with the natural development took place in oil industry in Kuwait and the incessant increase in cars’ numbers in the country, it was necessary for petrol stations to cope with their international counterparts which are equipped with pumps used to fuel vehicles; besides precautionary measurements related to health, safety and environment activated in these stations as well as other advanced services available too.

33 Historical synopsis Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC) Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC) was established in October 1960 as a Kuwaiti joint company possessed by the government and the private sector altogether. It is tasked to refine and market petroleum products; pursuant to this purpose, it has put forth diligent efforts to develop Mina Al-Ahmadi Refinery which was established in 1949 as a simple refinery whose refining capacity is maximum 25,000 barrels per day (bpd) to meet the local market’s needs from petrol, kerosene and diesel. It has also opted to develop Mina Abdullah Refinery which was founded in 1958 during the tenure of Late Sheikh Abdullah Al-Salem Al-Sabah. Mina Abdullah Refinery was then also a small refinery which had only one unit for refining crude oil; in addition, its capacity was nearly 30,000 bpd. Yet, KNPC had after that decided to set up a third refinery called Al-Shuaiba Refinery in 1966 due to the increasing demand on petroleum derivatives. This refinery which is considered the first refinery established by a national company was officially inaugurated in April 1968. KNPC initiated after the said achievement a new phase since it began developing petrol stations, whose number then reached nearly 12 stations; however, Kuwait Oil Company Ltd. shouldered the responsibility of development during that phase. Espousing an ostensible strategy and clear vision to carry out its development plans, KNPC began to establish new outlets, petrol stations to meet the growing demand on fuel in the local market owning to the increasing population and development in construction in Kuwait which started in the beginning of 1960s.

35 Historical synopsis Furthermore, KNPC through its local marketing arm built new petrol stations and depots for marketing various petroleum products needed by the local market. It also used modern tankers to supply stations with petrol obtained from Sabhan and Ahmadi depots; in addition, it began to provide the local market with two kinds of petrol; special petrol which is called “Octane 95” and excellent petrol called “Octane 91” as well as gas oil, kerosene and lubricants. The company also started to provide petrol stations with additional services such as exchanging lubricants, the automatic service of washing vehicles and so on. It is noteworthy that the company possessed at that time four automatic stations for washing vehicles located in Mansouriya, Qurtuba, Bayan and Abu Halifa zones. These stations provide integrated services starting from exchanging lubricants of engines along the service of washing vehicles through vapor as well as a multi-phases cleaning operation for vehicles in line the most advanced technologies activated in this domain. The company outstandingly has kept coping with the international developments in this field as it created management systems to run the petrol stations. As a result, it launched in 1980s the “Help Yourself” service in all its petrol stations since the customer is responsible for fuelling his vehicle inside the stations in presence of the station’s manager definitely and a revenue officer who is in charge of receiving fees from customers. However, this service was, in fact, launched after the stations were equipped with monitoring cameras and an internal communication network eases communicating with the manager if necessary.
