Kuwait Integrated Petroleum Industries Co. (KIPIC) has unloaded its first liquefied natural gas shipment at the Arab state’s onshore Al-Zour import terminal, the largest in the Middle East, and constructed to provide fuel and power to the refining and petrochemicals industries.

Italian natural gas network operator Snam, one of Europe’s leading energy infrastructure companies, said it expected Kuwait Petroleum Corp., the Arab Gulf oil and gas company, to select a winner soon to run a liquefied natural gas import facility for which Italy’s grid operator has made a bid through a subsidiary.
