A gas leak that occurred at a major refinery in Kuwait on Wednesday injured a labourer but did not affect the plant’s operations, state news agency KUNA reported.
Workers were able to control the leak in the second line of a gas liquefaction plant in the Mina Al-Ahmadi refinery, Ali Abdullah, vice president for financial and administrative affairs at Kuwait National Petroleum Co, told KUNA.
“The leak did not result in any … material damage as the refinery and gas liquefaction plant’s operations were not affected,” Abdullah was quoted as saying, adding that the injured contractor was treated at the scene.
