Strategic Expansion: Refinery Development

We are developing a new refinery in the Hamriyah Free Zone, specializing in naphtha treatment and gasoline production. The facility is designed for an annual production capacity of at least 3,440,000 barrels of gasoline compliant with Euro 3, Euro 4, and Euro 5 standards, and is the first private project of its kind in the UAE. This flagship project represents a significant step in our strategic growth, enhancing our vertical integration and establishing new production capabilities within the region.

• Project Highlights

Located in the Hamriyah Free Zone (Phase 1), Sharjah, this flagship project is the first private refinery of its kind in the UAE. The facility will specialize in naphtha treatment and the production of high-quality gasoline compliant with Euro 3, 4, and 5 standards, with a designed annual capacity of at least 3,440,000 barrels.

• Strategic Objectives

The primary goal of this project is to create significant added value by upgrading lower-value naphtha into high-demand, premium gasoline products. This development allows us to meet the growing regional demand for high-quality, environmentally compliant fuels while further integrating our operations across the energy value chain.

• Technical Focus

The refinery will employ state-of-the-art technology focused on the conversion of naphtha into on-spec, finished gasoline. The core processes will include advanced isomerization and reforming technologies to efficiently increase the octane number and produce a final product that meets stringent international quality standards.

• Market Impact

As the first private project of its kind in the UAE, this refinery marks a significant milestone. It introduces a new dynamic to the regional downstream sector, demonstrating the capability of private enterprise to develop and operate complex industrial assets. This project positions our company as a pioneering force in the evolution of the UAE's domestic energy market.
