State-owned Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) has awarded Kuwaiti dinars 7.8 million ($25.7 million) contract to a local firm for cleaning up areas near its fields and other facilities in West Kuwait, a newspaper said on Tuesday.

Sabel United Company, a Kuwaiti contracting firm, won the contract for the "removal of sand and other debris" in those areas, the Arabic language daily Al-Rai said.

KOC awarded Sabel the contract after it was approved by the Central Agency for Public Tenders, which decided the bidder met all contract conditions, it said.

Sabel submitted the lowest price in its bid for the project, which had also attracted many other local contractors, the paper added.
