Jan. 14 (Bloomberg) -- A fire broke out early this morning in a storage tank at Kuwait’s Al-Ahmadi oil refinery and has been extinguished, Kuwait National Petroleum spokesman Mohammed al-Ajmi said.
“The fire was in a storage tank that was out of service, and started at around 2 a.m.,” al-Ajmi said in a phone interview today from Kuwait. “It was controlled in less than an hour, no-one was injured and operations were not affected. It has been extinguished.”
Al-Ahmadi, one of three refineries in the Gulf state, has a capacity of 466,000 barrels a day.
