科威特国家石油公司（KPC）首席执行官表示，随着越来越多油轮冒着风险航行通过霍尔木兹海峡，科威特目前的石油开采量约为战前水平的75%。
Kuwait Is Pumping Oil at About 75% of Prewar Rate, KPC CEO Says Kuwait is pumping oil at about 75% of the level it was at before the Iran war started as more tankers take the risk of navigating the Strait of Hormuz, the chief executive officer of the nation’s state oil company said.
菲奥娜·麦克唐纳（Fiona MacDonald）报道：科威特石油公司（KPC）首席执行官谢赫·纳瓦夫·萨巴赫（Sheikh Nawaf Al-Sabah）周一在接受采访时表示，这个中东国家目前的日产量约为200万桶，低于2月底伊朗战争爆发、德黑兰封锁该水域航运前的约260万桶。他说，尽管伊朗继续对海峡航运构成威胁，但越来越多的油轮无论如何都在冒险通行。
By Fiona MacDonald The Middle East country is now producing about 2 million barrels a day, down from about 2.6 million before the Iran war began at the end of February and Tehran blocked shipping through the waterway, Sheikh Nawaf Al-Sabah, CEO of Kuwait Petroleum Corp., said in an interview on Monday.
他说：“更多的船只正在通过，因为人们认识到霍尔木兹海峡无可替代。你所做的每一件事、建造的每一条管道、储油设施，都无法取代霍尔木兹海峡的至关重要性。”萨巴赫还表示：
KPC目前正在履行对客户的原油供应义务
While Iran continues to threaten shipping in the strait, a growing number of tankers are risking transits anyway, he said. “More ships are getting through because people recognize there’s no alternative to the strait of Hormuz,” he said.
市场上没有足够的石油产品，尤其是馏分油
科威特航空燃料的短缺是释放战略石油储备的关键催化剂
“Everything you do, every pipeline you build, storage facility, all of that cannot replace the vital importance of the Strait of Hormuz.”Al-Sabah also said:
伊朗的袭击现在越来越多地针对油轮的机舱，使得船舶修复更加困难
科威特的炼油厂均在正常运转
KPC is currently meeting its crude oil obligations to customers There aren’t enough oil products, especially distillates, in the market A loss of Kuwaiti jet fuel has been a key catalyst for the release of strategic petroleum reserves Iranian attacks are now increasingly targeting tankers’ engine rooms, making it harder to fix the vessels Kuwait’s refineries are all working and functional Kuwait pipeline plans progressing well.
科威特管道计划进展顺利。通过沙特阿拉伯和阿联酋的路线仍然是备选方案，KPC正在增加更多选择
KPC的所有项目仍在按计划推进
Routes through Saudi Arabia and UAE are still options, and KPC is adding additional options KPC still on track with all projects Kuwait oil production capacity currently about 3m barrels a day.
科威特目前的石油产能约为每天300万桶。市场目前需要船只和退出战略
There’s a need for ships and exit strategies
