2008 SITE VISIT TO TAKREER’S
ABU DHABI REFINERY
Following the success of the 2007 site
visit to TAKREER’s
Ruwais Refinery, the World Refining Association are pleased to
announce the 2008 site visit to TAKREER’s Abu Dhabi Refinery.
After the discovery of oil in Abu Dhabi in 1958 and the first
export shipments of crude oil in 1962, plans were drawn up for
the construction of the refinery with a capacity of 15,000 barrels
per stream per day to meet growing demand.
Construction of the Refinery commenced in 1973 with the project
costing an initial sum of $45 million. The Refinery was inaugurated
in April 1976.
It is with a great pleasure that on Sunday 24 February, The World
Refining Association and TAKREER will provide the opportunity for
a limited number of conference attendees to participate within
an optional site visit to the Abu Dhabi Refinery located in Umm
Al Nar.
The trip will enable participants to view facilities and technologies
employed at the refinery, taking in relevant presentations and
explanations.
