Project Profile
Value: US$5 billion
Location: Fujairah, UAE
Capacity: 200,000 bpd
Start-up Year: 2018
A grassroots refinery with an initial capacity of 200,000 bpd of crude to process high-grade gasoline, diesel and related products. Feedstock will be supplied from the Upper Zakum field in Abu Dhabi, supplied through a 350-km main oil line.
The project will involve naptha hydrotreaters and splitters, twin catalytic reformers, isomerisation units, hydrocrackers and fluid catalytic crackers (FCC\'s). The scheme also features a 1.7 million cubic metre tank farm, utilities and offsites and a new port with loading facilities.
The Fujairah refinery would allow tankers to load cargo at the northern emirate and bypass the potential bottleneck of the Strait of Hormuz.
The International Petroleum Investment Company is upgrading the Fujairah refinery. The project is split into two packages; Package 1 comprises process units and Package 2 comprises off sites and utilities. The project is due to be completed by the end of 2018.
