< Previouscommunities and market. It is a pride for all of us at KNPC to announce that the Project has been commissioned successfully. The Company is fi rmly investing in Human Assets as one of the paramount enablers in achieving our mission of adding the best value to Kuwait hydrocarbons and supporting such mega programs. Have you set up any targets for the clean fuel project? The main targets of CFP can be defi ned as follows in simplifi ed terms: In her interaction with Refi ning & Petrochemicals Middle East, she talks about Mina Abdullah Refi nery’s Clean Fuel Project. Now, with the Clean Fuel Project is fully commissioned, how do you view the importance of this mega project? Clean Fuels Project (CFP) is a strategic program for Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC), not just a simple project by virtue of its size and importance. The Project will enable the Company to produce high-quality fuels to meet international specifi cations. This provides us with an opportunity to transform our business to be a world-class Refi ner through superior operating and fi nancial performance and, hence, is fully aligned with Company’s vision. The project has been designed based on state-of-the-art technologies available, robust HSSE practices and codes to achieve operational excellence and commercial sustainability. The project will also position the Company to be a committed and reliable partner in our CLEAN FUEL PROJECT: NEW ERA, NEW CHALLENGES Deputy CEO of Mina Abdullah Refi nery, Al-Khateeb has been with the Kuwait National Petroleum Company for 25 years and assumed her current position in 2019. In the same year, the company made nearly $25 billion in revenues. According to Forbes, Al-Khateeb was the fi rst woman to head the Gas Processors Association GCC Chapter. She was a board member for the Kuwait Styrene Company during the fi scal year of 2018/19, and she has been chairperson for the Kuwait Para xylene Production Company since May 2019. 30 Refi ning & Petrochemicals Middle East November 2021www.refi ningandpetrochemicalsme.com Interview• Meet international and local quality specifi cations • Upgrade fuel oil to valuable products • Improve overall economics • Achieve integration between refi neries and help improve business • Provide employment opportunities • Enhance the environmental, operational reliability, energy effi ciency and safety performances of KNPC refi neries. Are you looking to launch new products in near future, can you be more specifi c about it? Post-CFP, the Company is positioned to meet European (Euro 1V/V) transport fuels specs and meet other global specs as well. The main objective has been to produce Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel (ULSD) and Mogas specs of less than 10 ppm Sulphur. It is worth highlighting that although there is no Sulphur spec change (3000 ppm) in ATK product, KNPC will produce less than 1000 ppm Sulphur ATK having invested in multiple Hydrocrackers and high-pressure Kero Hydro treating unit at Mina Abdullah Refi nery (MAB). The company is also geared up to produce 0.5 wt. % S Bunker Fuel oil (BFO) as stipulated by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO). In what aspects are the two refi neries upgraded? Refi neries have been upgraded into integrated merchant refi ning complexes to meet diversifi ed market needs and boost our global competitiveness. The process units have been licensed by leading Technology Suppliers such as UOP, ABB Lummus, Haldor Topsoe, Axens, Shell Global, Du Pont using innovative processes to optimize yields and energy. Post-CFP, MAB Refi nery will become one of the biggest hydro-processing refi neries in the region and as well the biggest Hydrogen producer. MAB has 3 H2 trains each of 185 MMSCFD, the largest capacity ever licensed by Haldor Topsoe. Mina Al-Ahmadi Refi nery (MAA) has installed a Delayed Coking unit for fuel oil up-gradation. MAB Refi nery has installed 2 big Hydrocracking units. With the integrated refi neries confi guration, fuel oil production is expected to reduce less than 5 wt % vs. pre-CFP yield of more than 15 wt. %. Energy and Yield defi cient CDU units at MAA/MAB have been retired and a new Crude Distillation Unit of 264 KBPD has been installed at MAB Refi nery to maintain a crude processing capacity of 800 KBPD. New Diesel Hydro-treating units at MAA/MAB are provided with dewax catalyst beds to meet cold fl ow properties (CFPP of -22 Deg. C) for Euro grade diesel. How much funds you have earmarked for the clean fuel project? This project, of about US$15 billion, involved the construction and commissioning of more than 70 new units at both sites (major, supporting and utilities), upgrading of 7 major units and installing more than 4000 new equipment. More than 650 operations staff of various levels have received classroom and fi eld training through over 11,000 sessions. More than 50 thousand workers were involved at peak construction activities of this mega project distributed across the sites with an accumulative of man-hours exceeding 500 million. What do you feel about the future of this project? It is our immense pleasure to announce the successful commissioning of this mega strategic project. Although the Team faced a tough challenge of achieving the milestone against all the odds of Covid-19, their eff orts are worth appreciating having done it safely. The Clean Fuels Project is a source of pride for the state of Kuwait. We are looking forward to the fi nancial and social benefi ts the project is going to bring in. MAB produces all kinds of Petroleum by-products of Naphtha, Kerosene, Low-Sulfur Gas-Oil, Coke, Fuel Oil and Sulphur Wadha Ahmed Al-Khateeb,Deputy CEO of Mina Abdulla Refi nery It was renamed “Kuwait Wafra Oil Company” as a national company before the transfer to KNPC in 1978. It possessed back then merely one Refi ning Unit with 30,000 barrels per day (bpd) capacity. MAB has undergone expansion projects, which resulted in an increased capacity of 145,000 bpd, then a modernization project in 1988 (MAB RMP) boosted the refi ning conversion capabilities and its capacity to 240,000 bpd. 31 Refi ning & Petrochemicals Middle East November 2021www.refi ningandpetrochemicalsme.com InterviewIndia is one of the key countries around the world whose name is synonymous with trade – ever since nations began venturing into foreign lands and seas, trading valuable goods and services with one another, and bringing them back home for the consumption and exploration of their people. For centuries, international trade has been the driving force behind bringing humanity together, helping to support communities, creating jobs, and delivering prosperity to countries across the globe. However, in recent times we’ve seen nationalist government policies in leading economies increasingly give rise to the destructive force of trade protectionism. As an important trade partner to numerous economies across the world, India is directly and signifi cantly impacted by global trade policies which can aff ect its export revenue and economic performance. Rising world power In 2020, India emerged as the world’s 5th largest economy, when ranked by nominal GDP, overtaking France and the UK. The country’s role in providing essential personal protective and medical equipment, and subsequently in producing and distributing the vaccines has been crucial in bringing the virus under control. This is not only due to its well-developed manufacturing base, but also because of its strong economic ties with trading partners, importing feedstock and intermediary products, including from countries in the Arabian Gulf. India represents the second-largest export market for chemicals and petrochemicals from the GCC, second only to China. Trade relations between India and the GCC In recent years, the regional petrochemical and chemical industry has actively contributed to India’s economic growth and development. GCC chemical producers supply essential raw materials to important segments of India’s domestic manufacturing value chains, including healthcare, building and construction, automotive, textiles, and agriculture. All these sectors contribute immensely to India’s impressive growth and job creation. They will also be central pillars in the country’s economic recovery from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. According to Indian Government statistics, in 2019 imports into India from the GCC stood at USD 25.5 billion (non-oil imports) and GCC countries exported 11.15 million tonnes of chemicals and plastics to India. This amounted to US$ 6.52 billion or 25.67% of all non-oil GCC exports to India. Dark cloud over India-GCC trade relations Notwithstanding these fi gures, over the last couple of years trade relations in chemicals and petrochemicals between India and the GCC have taken a turn for the worse in light of recent trade protectionist developments. On 28 June 2021, the country’s Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) initiated an anti- dumping investigation into mono-ethylene glycol (MEG) imports from Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. The investigation was prompted by an application from two of the country’s heavyweight chemical manufacturers and concerned MEG imports from the USA as well. To the surprise of many, the inquiry came only a few months after India terminated another anti-dumping investigation concerning imports of MEG originating in or exported from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Singapore, and the United Arab Emirates. This was as a result of the application being withdrawn following extensive diplomatic and political engagement. Damaging to the domestic market India’s adoption of trade protectionist measures against GCC MEG imports are damaging to its domestic market. It is utterly unjustifi ed as it is not based on valid legal and factual grounds. It also lacks evidence of MEG imports being dumped from Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. To begin with, the price at which MEG feedstock is imported from the two GCC states is based on market considerations and is not diff erent for MEG that is sold domestically or exported. Furthermore, there was no spike in MEG export volume from the two countries to India during the period of investigation (1 January 2020 – 31 December 2020). Rather, there was a decline in comparison to the previous year. To state that India’s MEG industry is suff ering a material injury as a result of GCC MEG imports would be simply untrue. According to a report by India’s Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers, India is likely to face a shortage of MEG with current demand of around 2.5 million metric tons (MT). As this shortfall is expected to continue, India will need to import more MEG to satisfy domestic demand and ensure that prices are sustainable and supply to the important downstream sectors are not impacted. The continuous pursue of trade protectionist measures against countries in the GCC could also jeopardize exports, thereby creating a bottleneck for the local chemical industry. Breach In the words of India’s leadership “protectionism in all its forms should be rejected”. Liberal trade policies allow the unrestricted fl ow of goods and services, sharpen competition, motivate innovation, and breed success. While it may seem alluring and only too common to resort to trade protectionist measures, rising trade protectionism is only damaging to the very states which adopt it; it can hinder economic prosperity, obstruct business relationships, and jeopardize investments.

Set up in March 2006, GPCA is a dedi- cated non-profi t association, serving its members with industry data and information sources. GPCA Protectionism is detrimental to global trade In recent times we’ve seen nationalist government policies in leading economies increasingly give rise to the destructive force of trade protectionism, comments Dr Abdulwahab Al-Sadoun 32 Opinion Refi ning & Petrochemicals Middle East November 2021www.refi ningandpetrochemicalsme.comT he refi ning and petrochemicals industry, together also known as downstream industries, have played a crucial role in society for over the past 100 years. One important aspect of this industry has been the change and throughout this period of 100 years that time the industry has been constantly evolving, adopting novel technologies and processes to drive effi ciency improvements and cost reductions. The latest chapter in the ever-evolving industry is about how to reduce the carbon footprint of the industry, which is the third- largest emitting industry behind the iron/steel and cement industries. But as per the latest economic prediction, the downstream industry is expected to outpace all other industries to become the largest emitter of greenhouse gases. According to International Energy Agency (IEA), the downstream segment of the oil and gas value chain is a signifi cant contributor to climate change, predominantly due to its methane emissions. Worldwide, downstream methane amounted to an estimated 16 million tonnes in 2020 – more than all the oil and gas methane emissions from the continent of North America combined. Due to this, the industry has been facing criticism, threats of higher or punitive taxations, and an increase in government regulations aimed at curbing emissions. Over the past few decades, the downstream industry has invested billions of dollars in research and development, including multiple universities and business partnerships around the globe, aimed at achieving the technical breakthroughs required for reducing the carbon footprint. The spending in research and development was also needed as with the growing popularity of electric vehicles, long term future of fossil fuels still uncertain, and demand predicted to peak within the next decade, industry experts believe petrochemicals can provide an opportunity for the global downstream operators to diversify their business, as well as aligning with wider national Green goals. As a result of the increased investment in R&D, some technical advancement breakthrough has been achieved, which has led to accelerated Integrating new technologies for carbon capture, storage and utilisation could cut petrochemical plants’ emissions, and pave the way for a more seamless energy transition, with minimal economic impact. The use of big data and artifi cial intelligence to drive industrial transformation can signifi cantly improve total factor productivity. The huge investment opportunities created throughout the process of realizing carbon neutrality will not only help boost the global economy in the short term but also infl uence its overall socio-economic development in the long run, according to International Renewable Energy Agency. In its 2021 annual report, the agency has stressed that to comply with the 2015 Paris Agreement, the world needs to achieve net-zero carbon dioxide emissions by around 2050. Going green is the key trend for the global downstream industries The downstream industry has been investing billions of dollars in research and development to achieve technical breakthroughs required for reducing the carbon footprint Globally Refi ning and Petrochemicals industries are looking at ways and means to reduce emission while maintaining profi tability. 33Downstream Trends Refi ning & Petrochemicals Middle East November 2021www.refi ningandpetrochemicalsme.comThe oil and gas industry is facing major challenges due to new regulations with respect to global climate protection eff orts. Oil companies are desperately looking for solutions to reduce emissions, whether by increasing the effi ciency of plant operations or by improving the utilization of by-products generated during oil and gas production. Evonik’s innovative membrane technology makes it possible to turn fl are gas into a valuable energy source. Using innovative membrane separation technology, natural gas liquids can be effi ciently separated from the fl are gas. The recovered methane can be used to generate power, for example, without having to burn it off . ZERO GAS FLARING - SAVING RES- SOURCES During oil production, associated gas is produced from the reservoir together with the oil. Much of this gas is utilized or conserved because governments and oil companies have made substantial FLARE GAS RECOVERY investments to capture it; nevertheless, some of it is flared because of technical, regulatory, or economic constraints. As a result, thousands of gas flares at oil production sites around the globe burn approximately 140 billion cubic meters of natural gas annually, causing more than 300 million tons of CO2 to be 34 Refi ning & Petrochemicals Middle East November 2021www.refi ningandpetrochemicalsme.com Product NewsMeet the people who sell you products WHAT ARE THE DISADVANTAGES OF FLARING IN THE OIL AND GAS SECTOR? During oil produc- tion, associated gas is produced from the reservoir together with the oil. Much of this gas is utilized or conserved because governments and oil companies have made substantial investments to capture it; neverthe- less, some of it is fl ared because of technical, regulatory, or economic constraints. As a result, thousands of gas fl ares at oil production sites around the globe burn approximately 140 billion cubic meters of natural gas annually, causing more than 300 million tons of CO2 to be emitted to the atmosphere. Flaring of gas contributes to climate change and impacts the environment through emission of CO2, black carbon and other pollutants. It also wastes a valuable energy resource that could be used to advance the sustainable development of producing countries. WHAT PROMPT YOU TO COME UP WITH THE IDEA OF MEMBRANE SEPARATION TECHNOLOGY FOR FLARE GAS RECOVERY? Evonik’s innovative membrane technology enables gases, liquids or VOCs to be separated effi ciently. We are always looking for new application ideas to support our customers and market needs. Currently, the oil and gas industry is facing major challenges due to new regulations with respect to global climate protection eff orts. Oil companies are desperately looking for solutions to reduce emissions, whether by increasing the effi ciency of plant operations or by improving the utilization emitted to the atmosphere. Flaring of gas contributes to climate change and impacts the environment through emission of CO2, black carbon and other pollutants. It also wastes a valu- able energy resource that could be used to advance the sustainable development of producing countries. For example, if this amount of gas were used for power generation, it could provide about 750 billion kWh of electricity, or more than the African continent’s current annual electricity consumption. Because the Associated Gas is almost always very heavy, using it as energy source requires removal of NGL (Natural Gas Liquids).
