Background
Abu Dhabi Oil Refining Company (Takreer) has announced plans to carry out modifications to process heavier offshore crude oil at Ruwais.

Murban Crude which is used for feeding the new facilities will be replaced by offshore crude from Upper Zakum fields and will be transferred by subsea pipeline to onshore. The project will modify RRE and CBDC Facilities to process 420,000 bpsd of Offshore Crude from Upper Zakum instead of Murban Crude.

Project status

September 2015: Amec Foster Wheeler, Jacobs Engineering, Technip and Worley Parsons are currently bidding for the PMC contract.
The scope of work involves:

Treatment through new De-sulphurisation processes for distillate and residue streams produced is required due to higher residue yield of the Upper Zakum offshore crude and contaminants compared to Murban. Hence, there will be an addition of a 177,000 bpsd Atmospheric Residue De-Sulphurisation (ARDS) Unit and supporting facilities. The scope includes existing RRE and CBDC modification and works related
to utilities.
