KPC and TOGY overhaul communications pact
2017 edition success pushes extension
KUWAIT CITY, March 13, (KUNA): Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) and The Oil and Gas Year (TOGY) renewed the communications agreement signed last year between the two parties.
The agreement will see the TOGY Kuwait series of books and the TOGYiN platform report on the stateowned corporation, as it manages the nation’s hydrocarbon reserves, KPC said in a statement on Tuesday. Both sides agreed that the TOGY Kuwait 2017 edition was a success and decided to extend the relationship. They also pledged to make this year’s edition a success, and build upon last year’s relationship, it added. KPC noted that a key outcome of the agreement would be the TOGY Kuwait 2018 edition.
The Kuwait 2018 edition will portray KPC and its subsidiaries’ strategic visions to drive the expansion and modernization of the Kuwaiti hydrocarbons industry. KPC’s 2040 strategic communications strategy focuses on external stakeholder engagement, which goes hand in hand with the TOGY Kuwait 2018 edition; given that, TOGY has a C-Suite level international readership. The signing underscores both parties’ ambition to further develop the international communications of a globally important oil player.
