Just before the end of the 1990-1991 Gulf War, more than 700 wells in Kuwaiti oil fields were set on fire. Several international companies and scientific organisations were involved in extinguishing the fires and in assessing the impact of this major environmental incursion. Kuwaiti Oil Fires: Regional Environmental Perspectives summarises these effects. The topics covered include the application of remote sensing techniques to determine the location of wells on fire and plume movement; air quality and particulate monitoring by ground stations and aircraft measurements; organic and inorganic constituents in the air; use of modeling techniques to study dispersion characteristics of pollutants and deposition of soot; and the efforts by the fire fighters in extinguishing fires and capping the wells. A brief overview of the causes of the crisis and the role of regional and international groups in resolving the dispute is presented as well as some basic and useful statistics of the region covering general information on economic aspects and exploitation of oil resources in both Iraq and Kuwait. Problems faced by the fire fighting teams, the preparations made to overcome the problems, and technology used in extinguishing the well fires are also discussed. Numerous colour photographs are used to illustrate the problems encountered and the techniques involved in their solution.

The invasion and occupation of Kuwait by the Iraqi forces and the resulting Gulf War in 1991 led to unprecedented environmental contamination, the effects of which will be felt for years to come. The air was polluted by emissions from hundreds of burning oil wells, the sea fouled by the largest oil spill in history, and the land scarred by massive bombardment and troop movement. Information regarding this environmental legacy of the Gulf War has hitherto been scattered throughout the popular and scientific press. This is the first book that brings together what is currently known about the environmental aftermath of this tragic war.

Academic Paper from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Industrial Management, Humboldt-University of Berlin, language: English, abstract: Oil well flames allude to gas or oil wells that are consuming. Oil well flames can happen because of human activities, for example, illegal conflagration or mishaps, or regular occasions, for example, lightning. These flames cause ecological impacts and discharge lethal contaminations into the air, which result in wellbeing related issues. In this way, the Oil Flames were brought about by the Iraqi Military Powers, setting a flame to 605 to 732 Oil Wells. The flames were made in January and February 1991, and the principal Well flames were quenched in April 1991 and the keep going one on November 6, 1991. S There was a conflict amongst Iraq and Kuwait over some boring in oil.
