Unveiling Borouge 4 Polyolefins Complex Expansion

 

The Borouge 4 Polyolefins Complex Expansion project is an exciting development that promises to bring significant benefits to the region. The expansion of the polyolefins complex is expected to significantly boost the local economy. Located in Al Ruways, Abu Dhabi, UAE, the project is in the development phase, with construction set to commence shortly.

The project's cost is estimated at USD 6.2 billion (AED 22 billion), making it a significant investment. Overall, the Borouge 4 project is a bold and ambitious undertaking that will positively impact the region.

The project background involves a joint venture between Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and Borealis AG. ADNOC is the state-owned oil company of the United Arab Emirates and is the world's 12th largest oil company by production. They have an oil production capacity exceeding 4 million bpd with plans to increase to 5 million bpd by 2030.

The project scope includes an expected increase of 1.4 million tonnes of polyethene capacity, increasing Borouge's total annual polyolefins production capacity to 6.4 million tonnes. The facility covers an area equivalent to almost 500 football pitches.

The project will be carried out in two phases. The early works phase is underway and focuses on infrastructure development, utility systems, roadwork, and associated civil works. The construction phase is set to commence soon, with EPC contractors taking charge.

The Borouge 4 project, a joint venture between ADNOC and Borealis AG, will begin operations in 2025 and add 1.4 million tonnes of polyethene capacity, making it the world's largest single-site polyolefin complex. It will also catalyze the next phase of UAE industrial growth. With advanced technology, strategic partnerships, and a substantial investment, Borouge 4 is poised to significantly impact the global polyolefins market and contribute significantly to the UAE's industrial landscape.
