Kuwait National Petroleum Company

Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC) was established in October 1960 as a shareholder company owned by the government and the private sector. After the creation of Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) in 1980, KNPC became fully owned by KPC which itself is owned by the State of Kuwait.

When the oil sector was restructured, KNPC was entrusted with the responsibilities of oil refining and gas liquefication as well as the distribution of petroleum products in the local market on behalf of KPC. Consequently, the company became in charge of the three oil refineries; Mina Al-Ahmadi, Mina Abdulla and Shuaiba, in addition to the LPG plant in Mina Al-Ahmadi

Providing the Local Market with its requirements of high quality petroleum remains one of the company's top priorities. Petroleum products are supplied to customers from a chain of filling stations scattered all over the country or from its main depots in Sabhan and Al-Ahmadi.

KNPC has a highly efficient network of filling stations that reached by the end of year 99 ninety operation stations geographically distributed in an elabrate manner to insure that all customers will get the amount of fuel that they need. Of the total number of operating station 60 are self-service while a large number of those facilities work for 24 hours a day.
