OVERVIEW
SHUAIBA REFINERY was commissioned in 1968 at 95,000 BBLS/D Crude oil
processing capacity.
In mid 60's
Shuaiba Refinery Process Units were designed with high level
technology and techniques available at that time. The refinery was capable to handle
relatively high sulfur heavy crude oils which necessitate special processing
technology.
SHUAIBA REFINERY is considered the world's first all-Hydrogen refinery with full
usage of Hydrogen gas manufactured from natural gas. In Process Units, Hydrogen
gas is effective in removing/reducing sulfur and nitrogen impurities from oil/gas
streams upgrading products quality to meet the required international products
specification. Refinery utilizes Hydro-cracking technology to convert heavy oils
producing high quality light products.

Shuaiba Refinery makes a wide range of products, i.e. Naphtha as raw material for
petrochemical industries, Gasoline for Internal Combustion Engines, Aviation Turbine
Kerosene for Jet planes, Diesel for engines and Fuel Oil for power plant or other
furnaces.

In 1975 Shuaiba Refinery was revamped to 180,000 BBLS/D Crude oil processing
capacity utilizing the most updated process technology in order to achieve the
needed products quality and maximize refinery profitability.
Presently SHUAIBA REFINERY is operating at 200,000 BBLS/D Crude Oil processing
on sustained basis.
The Refinery is dynamic and adding new plant facilities to improve performance and
comply with stringent products specifications and Environmental requirements
introduced at various stages.
In 2002 Flare gas Recovery Unit and in 2006 Tail gas Treating Unit were added to
enhance the environmental performance.
New Effluent Treatment Facility commissioned at Mina Abdulla Refinery in 2012 to
treat the Effluent from Shuaiba Refinery to meet KEPA regulations.
