2.0 OVERVIEW KNPC currently owns and operates three refineries in the State of Kuwait; Mina Al

Ahmadi (MAA), Mina Abdullah (MAB), and Shuaiba (SHU) Refineries, all located

along the coastal zone south of Kuwait City, and within approximately 10 Kilometers

distance apart overall. As part of the Clean Fuels Project, KNPC plans the retirement

of the processing facilities at Shuaiba Refinery, and a major upgrade/expansion of the

MAA and MAB refineries to integrate KNPC’s Refining System into one Refining

Complex with Full Conversion operation with highest Light Ends Products Yields and

nil Fuel Oil production. These CFP Project objectives will be to:

- Meet year 2020 market demands and specifications for transport fuels

- Increase processing capacity at MAA/MAB to 800,000 BPSD from

736,000 BPSD (after SHU Retirement)

- Integrate operating capability of the MAA/MAB with optimum utilization

of the existing Infrastructure.

The retirement of SHU will include potential integration of some offsites facilities

(storage, blending and shipping/logistics facilities) with MAA/MAB Operations.

KNPC had engaged the services of Fluor Limited as the Project Management Consultant

during the Front End Engineering Design (FEED) stage.

A brief description of the scope for CFP packages is provided below. The scope described
