Kuwait: Gas production causes heavy smoke in Ahmadi refinery

Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC) Sunday attributed heavy smoke noticed from Al­Ahmadi Port Refinery to increased gas production of the gas liquefication plant.

Khaled Al­Asousi, KNPC Deputy Managing Director for allied services and the company's spokesman, said heavy smoke was also caused by the operation of the fourth gas pipeline.
Al­Asousi said work was underway to reduce quantity of smoke, which would yield results in the coming hours.

He added that refineries in the ports of Al­Ahmadi, Shuaibi and Abdullah were working normally, and the production was at its maximum limits.
