Mina Al-Ahmadi refinery

Mina Al-Ahmadi Refinery was established in 1949 with an initial refining capacity of 25,000 barrels per day. Ownership of the refinery was transferred to KNPC in 1981. The refinery was hit again on 3 April 2026, when another drone attack caused multiple fires; no casualties were reported. == Operations ==

KNPC states that Mina Al-Ahmadi Refinery occupies about 10.5 square kilometres on the coast and, after its most recent upgrade programme, operates 39 upgraded units. The refinery produces low-sulfur petroleum products for both domestic use and export markets, including gasoline, kerosene, bitumen and liquefied petroleum gas. The refinery also forms part of Kuwait's broader downstream system. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the modernization of Mina Al-Ahmadi and Mina Abdullah under the Clean Fuels Project was completed in late 2021 and was intended to reduce sulfur and nitrogen oxide content in refined products while lowering emissions from refining operations. == See also ==
