Kuwait's Ambitious Gas Plans Flag

摘要

Kuwait's natural gas production targets look increasingly ambitious. Existing projects are being delayed,, future increases hinge largely on developing resources that have yet to be discovered, and the international oil company involvement that might help galvanize the process remains mired in political controversy. In the interim, the country is stepping up LNG imports to help meet rising domestic demand, since that's cheaper and better for the environment than burning oil for power generation (WGI Sep.26'12).
