Veteran CNN reporter Richard Blystone, writing of the oil fires following the 1991 Gulf War in Kuwait: "It seemed as though, if hell had a national park, it would look like this." The Iraqi army adopted a scorched-earth policy in Kuwait, looting and burning, taking anything and everything that wasn't fixed in concrete or bolted down, hauling it back to Iraq. Perhaps their most blatant act was to set fire to a reported 732 well-heads during January and February. For the conquering coalition forces there were other priorities and it took a while to get to grips with the problem of how to extinguish the fires, the first being snuffed out in April. The last well was capped on November 6th 1991. Kuwait spent more than $5 billion to repair oil infrastructure damaged during the Iraqi occupation.
