Abu Dhabi: The UAE will upgrade two of its refineries by 2011 to meet the surge in domestic demand for oil products, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has said.
In its timetable for scheduled upgrades in global refining capacity, the Paris-based IEA, which advises 28 industrialised nations of the world on energy policy, said expansion at the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company's (Adnoc) Ruwais refinery is scheduled to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2011, while the hydrotreating expansion at the Jebel Ali refinery of the Emirates National Oil Company (Enoc) is scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2009.
The Ruwais refinery, operated by Adnoc 's unit Takreer , currently has a refining capacity of 400,000 barrels per day (bpd). The refinery processes up to 120,000 bpd of crude oil and 280,000 bpd of condensate.
