Kuwait Suspends Operations at Two Refineries After Attacks -- WSJ

Dow Jones03-19 21:28

By Summer Said

State-run Kuwait Petroleum Corp. has temporarily suspended operations at its Mina Abdullah and Mina Al-Ahmadi refineries after they were targeted by drone strikes, according to Kuwaiti officials familiar with the matter.

KPC was still assessing the damage to the facilities, the people said.

Emergency response teams have extinguished fires that broke out in certain parts of the plants, KPC said earlier.

Mina Abdullah and Mina Al-Ahmadi refineries have a capacity of 346,000 barrels a day and 454,000 barrels a day. All three of Kuwait's oil refineries were already operating at around half of their capacity before Thursday's attacks, the officials said.
