Kuwait’s KPC to sell struggling assets to cut costs
KUWAIT, Feb 9 (Reuters) -- State-run Kuwait Petroleum Corp. (KPC) plans to sell loss-making assets to cut costs as low oil prices pressure its finances, state news agency KUNA reported on Tuesday.
Nizar al-Adsani, chief executive of KPC, was quoted as saying the company had started efforts to sell its Europoort
refinery in the Netherlands and had decided to shut a fertilizer plant of Kuwaiti unit
PetrochemicalIndustries Co.
KPC's affiliates, including Kuwait National Petroleum Co. and Kuwait Oil Co., have already cut costs by 15% to 20%, he added.
