Crude Supply
- The condensate splitters are designed to process condensate from the On-shore Gas Development and Asab Gas Processing Plant.
- The refinery currently processes Murban Crude Oil
- The Crude Flexibility project will enable the Refinery to process heavier offshore crude oil from Upper Zakum Oil Field
Products Produced
- Liquefied Petroleum Gas, Premium Unleaded Gasoline (98 Octane), Special Unleaded Gasoline (95 Octane), Naphtha grades, Jet-A1 and Kerosene grades, Gas Oil grades, Straight run Residue, Bunker grades 180 and 380 cst and Granulated Sulphur
Projects
- A major upgrade is underway to enable the refinery to process heavy crude oils. For details see Ruwais Refinery Crude Flexibility Project
- The refinery completed a major expansion in 2015, for details see Ruwais Refinery Project
- The project raised its refining capacity at the site by 400,000 barrels a day (b/d), by constructing the new refinery to operate alongside the existing 417,000-b/d facility.
Other Information
- In 2019, ENI and OMV became shareholders in ADNOC refining
