History

edit

ADNOC Gas Processing is based Abu Dhabi, UAE. It manages over 3,000 km of pipeline network and 26 processing trains.[2][3] In 2000 ADNOC Gas Processing started a $1.5 billion tender for its gas terminals expansion.[4][5] ADNOC launched a Downstream Investment Forum in 2018, which attracted more foreign investments for the Ruwais Refinery.[6] For the last 40 years, the ADNOC has been refining Murban grade crude, which is extracted from its onshore fields in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. The "Crude Flexibility Project" (CFP) has made significant progress in 2020, with the ADNOC having a 73% project delivery which is constantly increasing from the refining capabilities in Ruwais. The CFP is to be completed in mid-2022, allowing the ADNOC to process up to 420,000 bpsd (Barrels per Stream Day) of the heavier grades of crude oil at the Ruwais refinery, which processes in total 840,000 bpsd. The necessary physical infrastructure required for the CFP has been put into place, only the structural elements such as 2 new fractionators and 24 atmospheric residue desulfurizer reactors were installed in the months of June and July 2020.[6]
