The company also manages the distribution of petroleum products within Kuwait, operating 61 petrol filling stations and five ports for exporting products. Its services include oil refining, gas liquefaction, and a Clean Fuels Project aimed at producing cleaner fuels. Additionally, KNPC owns the Kuwait Aviation Fuel Supply Company and holds a stake in the Kuwait Aromatics Company, contributing to its role in the local and international petroleum markets.
