Kuwait, a nation home to 4.1 million people, has the world’s sixth-largest known oil reserves.


Ten people sustained burn injuries after a fire broke out during maintenance of a gas liquefaction plant at Ahmadi port refinery in Kuwait, the Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC) said on Friday.
According to a statement by the Kuwait National Petroleum Company, seven of the injured were transferred to al-Adan Hospital to complete treatment, of which five of them experienced severe burns and two with moderate burns.
The fire was reported at the Gas Liquefaction Unit No. 32 at the Mina al-Ahmadi Refinery.
The company claimed to have activated the emergency plan, and reported that the firefighting teams were able to “fully control the fire”.
The refinery was built to handle 25,000 barrels of oil a day to supply Kuwait’s domestic market primarily with gasoline and diesel.
The facility recently underwent an expansion to reduce its emissions and boost capacity to 346,000 barrels a day.
