Health, Safety, Sustainability
and Environment (“HSSE”)
HSSE remains a key priority at Kuwait Energy and by the end of 2011, the Company had recorded over three years
of operations in Egypt, two years of operations in Russia, and two years of operations in Ukraine with zero Lost Time
Incidents.
During the year, the Company also passed stage one of the ISO 9001 Quality Management SystemCertification, illustrating
Kuwait Energy’s desire to adopt international best practices in respect to its internal systems and controls.
Technology
The Company’s partnership with Schlumberger, signed in December 2010, is also yielding continuous benefits via
Schlumberger’s input into software modules, training programmes and seismic data services. This input has been
especially useful in Iraq and the submission of a preliminary field development plan.
Kuwait Energy continues to benefit from its relationships with software technology providers, which helps to reduce
exploration and development risk, and maximize the potential from the Company’s assets.
Human Resources
The Company’s employees are a key asset and Kuwait Energy’s growth and progress to date is due to their talent,
dedication and motivation. As such, the importance of attracting and retaining our staff through creative and innovative
initiatives is paramount to us.
To this end, the Human Resources department has embarked on several initiatives throughout the year including:
succession planning, mentoring projects and supporting youth development opportunities such as the “Future Energy”
initiative, where individuals complete an internship and training programme across the Company’s global offices. 43
individuals completed the programme during 2011, almost double the number of 2010.

This work is a
reflection of hope
and optimism.
Surrounded by
light hues of hot
and cold colors,
the stylized
figures express the
joyful spirit of the
Arab spring. The
tolerance between
members of
society despite of
the high number
of victims during
the revolution is
also present in
the painting by
lines extending
from one figure
to another to tell
about the deep
bonds between
people.
