Kuwait planning to emerge from strike with record oil output
Kuwait plans to boost oil production to more than 3 million barrels a day within months, doubling output from where it stood during last week’s oil-worker strike. Output will climb to 3.15 million barrels a day by June, according to Haitham Al-Ghais, market research manager at government-owned Kuwait Petroleum Corp. That would be Kuwait’s highest level of production ever, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. A three-day strike by Kuwaiti oil workers sent crude production tumbling to 1.5 million barrels a day last week. The Oil & Petrochemical Industries Workers Confederation agreed to end the walkout after the government refused to negotiate while labor was off the job. Kuwait produced 3 million barrels a day before the strike. (Bloomberg)
