Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

WASHINGTON E.O. 12958: DECL: 1.6 X5, X6 TAGS: EPET, KU SUBJECT: TFIZ01: KUWAIT OIL UPDATE -- MARCH 30, 2003 REF: KUWAIT 1148 AND PREVIOUS Classified By: DCM Frank C. Urbancic for reasons 1.5. (B) and (D) 1. (C) Detailed Kuwaiti production figures are unavailable today, but total production is understood to remain above 2.4 million barrels per day. 2. (C) A senior KPC official confirmed today that all three refineries of the Kuwait National Petroleum Corporation (Mina Al-Ahmadi, Mina Al-Abdulla and Shuaiba) have resumed full operations and are refining some 915,000 barrels of oil per day. All three trains at the LPG plant are also operating normally. On March 21, KPC had reported that it had scaled back operations to 625,000 bpd and closed one LPG train due to the threat of missile attacks. However, the KPC official noted the firm's continuing nervousness over the security of its refinery operations, particularly in the light of the explosion of an Iraqi missile early in the morning of March 29 which caused some minor damage to a Kuwait City shopping mall. The shopping mall is less than 20 miles north-northwest of the refinery complex. JONES
