Sitting on a 20,300 sqm freehold plot, the facility includes production, logistics, storage, administrative, and employee infrastructure, making it one of the most turnkey refinery investments available in the UAE. Its 600 MT/day crude processing and 350 MT/day lubricants production lab are supported by a 22,000 MT storage system and extensive distribution setup. Opportunities The facility is built for scalability and immediate expansion. The existing infrastructure supports flexible production increases and additional product lines. Local and regional energy demand, coupled with a well-established supply chain and on-site distribution, allows new ownership to optimize utilization and margins. There’s untapped potential in upgrading export logistics, expanding lubricant output, and deploying automation across existing mechanical and lab functions. Exit Advisory Takeaway This refinery represents a stable, high-value infrastructure asset ideal for investors seeking ownership in the energy sector. The operation’s scale, vertical integration, and location in an energy-forward region offer strong fundamentals. Freehold land ownership and in-place employee housing reduce operational friction. With strong fixed assets and built-in capacity headroom, this asset aligns well with acquisition strategies targeting reliable cash flow, capital preservation, and upside growth via optimized throughput and additional product diversification.
