A new oil refinery will be built in the emirate of Abu Dhabi to further boost the emirate's refining capacity, said Jasem Ali Sayegh, general manager of Abu Dhabi Oil Refining Company (TAKREER).
The planned capacity of the new refinery is 417000 bpd and will be completed by 2013, added Sayegh who was speaking at the 2-day Middle East Refining Conference 9th Annual Meeting which started today in Abu Dhabi.
The new refinery is still in the design phase and will be located in Ruwais, some 240 kilometers from Abu Dhabi City, will increase Abu Dhabi's current installed refining capacity which stands at around 485000 bpd.
The current Ruwais refinery produces around 400000 bpd, while the capacity of Abu Dhabi Refinery in Um Al Nar stands at around 85000 bpd.
An inter-refinery pipeline will be constructed between the two refineries to eliminate the need for shipments as well as to connect Ruwais and Abu Dhabi.
Abu Dhabi's refining capabilities are run by TAKREER which took the responsibility of refining operations from Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC).
The new project, Sayegh noted, is driven by demand and the need to meet stringent product quality requirements and environmental legislations. (WAM)
