KUWAIT CITY, April 1: The Kuwait Petroleum Corporation is seeking to find possible means to raise the number of engineers accepted in the oil sector, after meeting the required numbers, which amounted to 521 in all disciplines, reports Al-Rai daily. The oil sources told the daily that raising the numbers of those accepted depends on budget that will enable the oil sector to accept larger numbers than were planned, especially since employment is linked to the size of the budget approved in this regard by the official authorities in the country.
