    Kuwait to reconsider oil projects worth $30b

    (MENAFN) The Chief Executive Officer at Kuwait Petroleum Corp. said that the country's Supreme Petroleum Council is planning to re-examine two key oil projects soon, after political disputes stalled the ventures estimated to cost about $30 billion, Reuters reported. The projects include building a 615,000-barrels per day refinery for an estimated $15 billion, and upgrading two of three existing refineries at the cost of another $15 billion. The two projects have been stalled for years as a result of political disputes between the government and the outspoken parliament. The government scrapped the new refinery project about a year ago, months after awarding contracts to four South Korean companies, a Japanese firm and US giant Fluor. MPs have opposed the project, citing flawed procedures in awarding the contracts, because it did not go through the state-run Central Tenders Committee to ensure transparency.
