Ruwais Refinery

[2] The Ruwais Refinery was inaugurated by the late Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan in 1982[3] as part of his vision to transform the area into a hub for oil and gas processing.

[7] Other products include liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), unleaded gasoline, diesel, naphtha, jet-A1, base-oil, fuel oil, white spirit, and propylene.

The Ruwais Refinery is connected to three jetties equipped with multiple berths to allow for cargo transfers via the Arabian Sea.

It is also connected to a pipeline network spanning over 1,600 km across the emirate, allowing for essential fuels to be distributed to sites like the Abu Dhabi International Airport.

Once complete in 2022, the $3.5bn Crude Flexibility Project will give ADNOC Refining the ability to process 420,000 bpd of grades such as Upper Zakum – and over 50 others – to increase value.
