据国外媒体5月1日科威特城报道,根据5名知道此事的消息人士所说,科威特国有炼油巨头科威特国家石油公司(科国油/KNPC)时下正在与银行进行谈判以期筹集价值大约100亿美元的贷款来扩大和翻新这个海湾国家的两个主要炼油厂。
作为科威特996亿美元经济发展计划的一部分,这个清洁燃料项目将提升和扩大科国油麾下的两个现有的最大炼油厂,来重点关注生产用于出口的高附加值石油产品,例如柴油和煤油。
因消息尚未公开而不愿透露名字的消息人士说,本地和国际银行目前正在与科国油谈判贷款一事。科国油在科威特国内除了营销石油产品以外还负责炼油和天然气液化产业。
科国油的一名同样拒绝透露名字的消息人士证实说,科国油寻求通过与国内外银行谈判为这个清洁燃料项目的总成本筹集大约70%的资金。
