Arab Petroleum Investments Corporation (Apicorp), a multilateral development financial institution, has announced its first equity investment in Kuwait with the acquisition of a 24% equity stake in Al Khorayef United Holding and GC-16 JV (AKUH), a leading Kuwait-based oil and gas services and facilities management company.

The investment will see Apicorp partnering with Al Khorayef Petroleum Company, a subsidiary of Saudi-based Al Khorayef Group, and United Oil Projects Kuwait, which also own stakes in AKUH.
