Al Zour refinery project (ZOR)
The Al Zour refinery project (ZOR) will be one of the biggest refineries in the world upon its commissioning in mid-2020.
It will supply 225,000 barrels a day of low-sulphur fuel oil (LSFO) to local power plants and produce jet fuel, kerosene and naphtha feedstock for petrochemical plants.
The Kuwait Integrated Petroleum Industries Company (KIPIC), a subsidiary of Kuwait Petroleum Corporation, will operate the refinery, petrochemicals and LNG import operations at the ZOR project.
ZOR and the Clean Fuels project (CPF) are the two biggest projects being implemented as part of KNPC’s 2030 strategy. The new refinery will account for 43% of the country’s refining capacity.
CSL Global have been working on this project for 4 years providing Project Risk Management surveys on over 100 critical items shipped from multiple suppliers to the project site.
