Al-Itqan Legal Group Highlights Business Impact of Kuwait’s New KPC Law on Oil Sector Contracting
Al-Itqan Legal Group highlighted the business and legal effects of Kuwait's Decree-Law No. 67 of 2026 impacting contracting, governance, and renewable energy in the oil sector.
Sultan Al-Qahtani described the amendments as a major step in modernizing Kuwait's petroleum sector operational and regulatory framework aligned with Kuwait's long-term strategies.
The law speeds up KPC's commercial and financial decisions by introducing exemptions from prior approval requirements and bans local or commission agents in contracts.
It creates a CEO role for daily operations and formally includes renewable energy activities under KPC, along with governance changes.
