Kuwait has issued tenders to construct facilities to store LNG and convert it to gas at its Al-Ahmadi oil refinery.
According to local Kuwaiti newspaper reports, the state-owned Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC) issued the tender for “the LNG storage and conversion services contract” at Al-Ahmadi, which is undergoing expansion within the country’s multi-billion-dollar clean fuel project.
Bidding for the project will close on 6th October and bidders must submit all documents specified by KNPC, the Arabic language daily Alseyassah said.
The Kuwaiti authorities have agreed a proposal for pipeline infrastructure to be connected to the onshore LNG import terminal planned for the port of Al-Zour, adding to volumes shipped to the existing floating import facility at Mina Al-Ahmadi.
