The Kuwait National Petroleum Co. (KNPC), a unit of state-owned Kuwait Petroleum Corp. (KPC), is considering a refinery with a capacity of more than 200,000 b/d to be built in the south to produce low and high sulphur fuel oil for power generation. A pre-feasibility study for this was done recently by Foster Wheeler of the US. The project's cost is estimated at about $800m. If the project goes ahead, this will be the fourth oil refinery in Kuwait.
