Engineering survey, topographic mapping.
Known in Kuwait as "KOC UTM". Used by KOC for engineering but not explorartion (see KOC Lambert, CRS code 24600). In Saudi Arabia, replaced by MTRF-2000 / UTM zone 38N (CRS code 8838).
Kuwait - west of 48°E. Saudi Arabia - between of 42°E and 48°E.
Cartesian 2D CS. Axes: easting, northing (E,N). Orientations: east, north. UoM: m.
