Ahmadi (MAA), Mina Abdullah (MAB), and Shuaiba (SHU) Refineries, all located
along the coastal zone south of Kuwait City, and within approximately 10 Kilometers
distance apart overall. As part of the Clean Fuels Project, KNPC plans the retirement
of the processing facilities at Shuaiba Refinery, and a major upgrade/expansion of the
MAA and MAB refineries to integrate KNPC’s Refining System into one Refining
Complex with Full Conversion operation with highest Light Ends Products Yields and
nil Fuel Oil production. These CFP Project objectives will be to:
-
Meet year 2020 market demands and specifications for transport fuels
-
Increase processing capacity at MAA/MAB to 800,000 BPSD from
736,000 BPSD (after SHU Retirement)
-
Integrate operating capability of the MAA/MAB with optimum utilization
of the existing Infrastructure.
The retirement of SHU will include potential integration of some offsites facilities
(storage, blending and shipping/logistics facilities) with MAA/MAB Operations.
KNPC had engaged the services of Fluor Limited as the Project Management Consultant
during the Front End Engineering Design (FEED) stage.
A brief description of the scope for CFP packages is provided below. The scope described
herein covers only the important units and is intended to provide a general idea to the
Contractors. The EPC works will be contracted on a competitively bid Lump Sum basis and
will be executed using three EPC Contracts for the main units.
