Kuwait : Kuwait Petroleum Corporation CEO Saad Al-Shuaib has said here that Kuwaiti oil facilities were secure and safe.
The remarks were made Monday following recent reports that Kuwaiti oil installations could come under potential attacks.
He pointed to a security plan in place for a couple of years to tighten security at Kuwaiti oil facilities.
Two years ago, specialised cabinet panels worked out studies aiming to ensure security and safety at the Al-Shuaiba Area which houses three oil refineries and other oil plants, the Kuwaiti oil official noted.
The Kuwait Oil Corporation and security apparatuses are seeking to tighten security at Kuwaiti oil installations, Al-Shuabi added.
On coordination with the US side in this respect, he said the US side was really working with several Kuwaiti agencies concerned over tightened security at Kuwaiti oil installations. But, he said he was not aware of an exact date for a visit by a US delegation to Kuwait on the security of oil facilities.
