In 1980, Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) was established, as the State owned asset and all other oil companies in Kuwait, including KNPC, became KPC subsidiaries. Currently, KNPC has two state-of-the-art Refineries, namely Mina Abdullah Refinery (MAB) and Mina Al-Ahmadi Refinery (MAA). Shuaiba Refinery was shut down in March 2017 after the kick-off of the Clean Fuels Project (CFP). The total production capacity of both Refineries is 736,000 bpd of crude oil, and a gas processing capacity of 2.5 billion scfpd. MAB and MAA host advanced refining technologies, following the revamping of the two Refineries in the 1980s. Among the most important units at MAB Refinery are two CDUs, 4 Hydrogen production units, 2 ARD units, a Vacuum Distillation unit, 2 delayed Coker units, and a Hydrocracking unit. The MAA Refinery now hosts four Trains of ARDS units, a VGO Hydrocracker and an FCCU, besides a host of Hydrogen production and Hydrogen Recovery units, Distillate Hydrotreaters, Sulfur recovery units and consolidated Sulfur granulation and storage facilities.
