ADNOC to upgrade Ruwais refinery
Abu Dhabi “Enabling the Ruwais Refinery-West to process Upper Zakum, or similar, medium sour crude, in place of Murban light sweet crude, will allow us to extract greater value from our crude resources,” said Abdulaziz Abdulla Alhajri, the company’s downstream director, in a statement. “It will mean we can maximise the benefit of price differentials to enhance refinery margins, improve the middle distillate products and release valuable Murban crude into the market.”
The upgrade is scheduled to be complete by 2022, the statement added.
