据路透社11月7日迪拜报道，科威特一位高级官员周三表示，科威特计划将轻质原油日产量从目前的约17.5万桶提高到25万桶。
海湾石油输出国组织成员国的石油部长Bakhit al-Rashidi在为纪念科威特轻质原油出口正式启动而举行的活动中表示，目前该国北部油田新等级原油的日产量潜力为17.5万桶。
这种新型原油名为科威特超轻质原油(KSLC)， API度为47，硫含量为1.6%。
科威特通过在今年年中发布这一等级增加了对亚洲的石油出口。
一名知情人士称，10月的KSLC每桶价格高于阿曼-迪拜报价2.30美元，11月的价格每桶溢价3.05美元。

Kuwait plans to boost its output capacity for light crude oil to 250,000 barrels per day from some 175,000 bpd now, a senior Kuwaiti official said The Gulf OPEC member's oil minister, Bakhit al-Rashidi, said at the event - held to mark the official start of Kuwait's exports of light crude - that the current output potential of the new grade is 175,000 bpd from fields in the country's north.
The new grade, called Kuwait Super Light Crude (KSLC), has an API gravity of 47 and a sulphur content of 1.6 percent.
Kuwait increased its oil exports to Asia by launching the grade in the middle of this year.
It set the price for KSLC at $2.30 a barrel above Oman-Dubai quotes for October and at a premium of $3.05 a barrel for November, a source with knowledge of the matter said.
