Khafji gas pipeline to Kuwait that was officially inaugurated last week is currently operating with a capacity of 11 million cubic feet of gas per day, 29 million cubic feet of acid gas and 6,000 barrels per day of condensate through a multi-stage pipeline measuring 12 inches and a length of 110 kilometers distributed between the onshore and offshore areas to the State of Kuwait.
The sources said that after increasing the production of the Khafji field to range between 350 and 400 thousand barrels per day, there will be no environmental impact of carbon emissions, as gas flaring rates will reach very low rates.
The sources said that the Kuwait Gulf Oil Company is on the verge of operating many major projects such the Wafra Operations , where the company is working in full swing to deliver the existing gas from the Wafra Operations , estimated at 40 million cubic feet to Kuwait, by linking it with the Kuwait Oil Company’s operations area in the West.
The sources pointed out all these projects aim to meet Kuwait’s needs of clean energy to operate power plants with natural gas instead of burning the crude oil.
It is worth noting that the operation of the new gas pipeline comes within the framework of the optimal exploitation of the petroleum resources in the divided zone between Kuwait and Saudi Arabia and with the aim of enhancing Kuwait’s capabilities in terms of gas supplies and in implementation of the strategic directions and plans adopted by the company.
