The ESO from the Stage 1 Plant to the sea originates near the Northeastern corner of the plant area in a straight line towards the sea where it will be extended for about 2 km into the sea.
The ESO will lead first through an open area, then cross the E40 road, then again lead through an open area parallel to a local road and, just before the shore line, cross a fenced plot which is owned by the State of Kuwait
The total length of the ESO is approximately 3.5 km with an additional 2 km pipeline leading into the sea.
Construction method: onshore — open cut; offshore - microtunneling
