The emirate’s oil industry is waiting for the final go-ahead on two massive refinery projects considered critical to the country’s energy future

MOTIVATED more by concerns about domestic power supply and guaranteed demand for its crude, Kuwait plans to boost its domestic refinery capacity by more than half to 1.4 million barrels per day (mbpd) within the next 10 years. Downstream officials say the cabinet could approve two refinery projects worth $30 billion, allowing contracts to be awarded about one year later.

The proposed refining and petrochemicals platform will be designed to process Kuwaiti crude

TOTAL and Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on a refining and petrochemicals joint venture in southern China in partnership with Chinese state-owned refiner Sinopec, the French major says.

The oil-rich emirate is currently working toward a goal of increasing capacity to 4 mbpd by 2020 and maintaining that level through 2030. For that 1 mbpd incremental increase, KOC will rely on heavy oil projects

AT 2.9 million barrels per day (mbpd), Kuwait’s current oil production is approaching its capacity, state Kuwait Petroleum Corp (KPC) chief executive Farouk Al Zanki says.

The state-of-the-art refinery will have an annual oil processing capacity of 200,000 barrels per day
