REFINING

The first of three sections of Al-Zour refinery in Kuwait is in start-up phase and is set to reach full operations within about a month according to Bloomberg sources.

  • The first exports of diesel could help at a time of tight global product supplies.
  • The refinery will have three sections each with a crude throughput of about 205kbpd and could be operational by January. The refinery is currently running testing volumes of about 120kbpd.
  • The total Al-Zour refinery will produce about 155kbpd of ultra low-sulfur diesel increasing the total Kuwait refining capacity to about 1.5mbpd.
