Kuwait’s Al-Zour refinery will be fully operational in a few days, the chief executive of Kuwait Integrated Petroleum Industries Co.said Monday.
The start of the third section of the refinery was pushed back to the end of the summer, after a technical glitch forced a halt in April. Al-Zour, comprising three mini refineries, is one of the biggest oil-processing facilities coming online in the Middle East in recent years.
