The turnaround comes as KNPC works to complete its $16bn Clean Fuels Project (CFP), which involves integrating the Mina Abdullah refinery with the Mina al-Ahmadi refinery, and raising their combined crude processing capacity to 800,000 b/d. Work at Mina al-Ahmadi was completed in April last year, reducing its refining capacity to 346,000 b/d from 440,000 b/d previously.
KNPC has recently commissioned a 23,500 b/d naphtha treatment unit at its Mina Abdullah refinery.
The commissioning of the new 264,000 b/d CDU had helped raise Mina Abdullah’s capacity to its post-CFP capacity of 454,000 b/d from 265,000 b/d previously.
KNPC sources said they expect all remaining units at Mina Abdullah to be commissioned by the end of the first quarter in 2021.
