Brooge Petroleum And Honeywell Partner To Establish New Gasoline Refinery In Fujairah

Brooge Petroleum and Gas Investment Company (BPGIC) is nearing the completion of its merger with Gulf Navigation Holding, a company listed on the Dubai Financial Market. BPGIC has announced a strategic partnership with Honeywell to secure a licence for constructing Fujairah's first refinery dedicated to producing premium gasoline. This agreement was formalised during ADIPEC 2025, attended by the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure.

The agreement includes acquiring the engineering design for the refinery, which will adhere to cutting-edge international standards. The project will unfold in multiple phases, starting with an initial production capacity of approximately 15,000 barrels per day. This development represents a significant milestone in establishing Fujairah as a key player in oil derivatives refining.

The initiative aims to bolster the UAE's status as a global hub for refining oil derivatives. By employing Honeywell's advanced refining technologies, the project promises high operational efficiency and environmental sustainability, aligning with global benchmarks. This aligns with the UAE's broader strategy to enhance its industrial capabilities in energy markets.

Sharif Al Olama, Under-Secretary of the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure, stated, "This agreement represents a significant step in supporting the UAE's progress towards enhancing its industrial capabilities in the refining sector and ensuring supply in regional and global energy markets. The new gasoline refinery in the emirate of Fujairah constitutes a qualitative addition to the national energy system, through the adoption of the latest technologies that guarantee the highest standards of efficiency and sustainability."

The Ministry remains committed to empowering national projects that align with UAE Vision 2031. These efforts aim to strengthen private sector roles in building a diversified and sustainable economic future. The refinery project is expected to contribute significantly to these goals by expanding petroleum industries and increasing local value.

Economic Impact and Job Creation

Brooge Petroleum and Gas Investments highlighted that this refinery will support national objectives by expanding petroleum industries and enhancing local added value. It will also provide development opportunities for national talent in refining, operation, and maintenance fields. The project is set to boost energy diversification both domestically and internationally.

Additionally, it will create quality job opportunities and develop local supply chains while improving the national refining system's efficiency. The expansion of export capabilities through Fujairah port and other national ports is another anticipated benefit from this strategic initiative.

The establishment of this refinery marks an important step forward for BPGIC and Honeywell's collaboration. It underscores their commitment to advancing technological excellence while contributing positively to both regional and global energy landscapes.
