Kuwait, November 06 (QNA) – The Kuwait Integrated Petroleum Industries Company (KIPIC) announced on Sunday the start of commercial operations of the first phase of Al-Zour Refinery project, after it started last month to produce and sell primary quantities of fuel oil and supply it to local electric power stations.
Acting CEO of KIPIC Waleed Al-Bader told Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) that the operation is an important historic event and considered a mainstay of the country’s development plan.
The refinery provides fuel of high quality and environmental standards to meet the local demand for energy, as it limits emissions of gases polluting the environment and improves air quality, Al-Bader added.
He also indicated that it is a vital outlet for the disposal of heavy Kuwaiti oil, and provides other refined products for export in global markets with standard specifications, and more job opportunities for national cadres. (QNA)
