State-run Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC) has awarded KD3.48 billion ($11.5 billion) worth of contracts to build its planned Al Zour refinery, Kuwaiti state news agency Kuna reported.
 
KNPC commissioned a consortium including Spain's Tecnicas Reunidas, China's Sinopec and South Korea's Hanwha Engineering and Construction to build the main process units of the refinery. That contract is worth KD1.28 billion.
 
A consortium including Daewoo Engineering and Construction, Hyundai Heavy Industries and Fluor Corp of the US will build support units and infrastructure services for KD1.74 billion.
 
Meanwhile, a consortium including Hyundai Engineering and Construction, SK Engineering and Construction and Italy's Saipem was awarded a KD454 million contract to build a marine export terminal, Kuna quoted KNPC spokesman Khalid Al Asousi as saying.
