Kuwait · Established 1974

Five Decades at the Heart of Kuwait’s Energy Sector.

Founded in 1974 — the same year Kuwait began asserting sovereign control over its hydrocarbon resources — ATCOPETRO has been built into a recognised name across the country’s upstream and downstream landscape, delivering works and services to Kuwait Oil Company, Kuwait National Petroleum Company and a broad portfolio of public and private sector clients. We are at once a services and products contractor, an agent representing international manufacturers, and an investor with ownership stakes across regional energy ventures.

About

A long-term partner, not a transactional vendor.

ATCOPETRO provides specialised energy-related services to government and private stakeholders. Headquartered in Kuwait, it operates across the neighbouring GCC states and worldwide, offering consultancy, conceptual design, project management, equipment supply, start-up and commissioning, crude oil and petroleum product supply, and strategic storage solutions.

The company has worked through every major chapter of Kuwait’s modern energy history — the build-out of the national oil companies, the Gulf War and the reconstruction that followed, and the downstream transformation that reshaped national refining capacity. That institutional memory is the asset our clients buy.
