The Jebel Ali refinery was constructed from 1996 to 1999.
It is located in Dubai and operated by the Emirates National Oil Co. (ENOC), which is owned by the Government of Dubai.
The plant consists of two 60 kbit/s condensate distillation units (often referred to as condensate splitters) and five merox sweetening units.
An upgrade - costing $850 million (US) - was implemented in 2010 for the production of reformat and low-sulfur naphtha through installation of a reformer and a hydrotreater.
In 2014, a contract for a new upgrade project was awarded to KBR.
