Middle East Refinery Projects

The Middle East is one of the main regions where significant investments are being made in refining. These investments are largely being driven by the wish of governments to diversify their economies away from upstream, and to add value to heavy crude oils. The page Middle Eastern Refineries has details of refineries in operation in the region.
