STFA will double the capacity at the port used to transport oil from the Ahmadi refinery, KUNA said, citing Ahmed Rashid, the deputy managing director of Kuwait Oil Company. Kuwait, which produces around three million barrels a day (bpd) and ships two thirds of it, wants to expand its production to four million bpd by 2020. The Turkish group will also build a new port to hold 70 boats used to support oil tanker shipments, KUNA said. 0 Comments
