These may result in (a) concerns for system operability (b) vague results of end product specifications which may pose a threat in designing a production plant and facilities improvement requirements as well as firming up investment decisions...

... and implemented to revive the shut-in production potential to the GCs, resulting in a bump in oil production for North Kuwait. As a result of the strategy adopted, deferment of oil production due to NORM, which hovered to more than 1.5 years in the past, is prevented, thus helping production target requirements...
