Jubail al-Sina‘iyah (Jubail Industrial City) in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, with a refining capacity of 400,000 BPD. The refinery, scheduled to go on stream by the end of 2012, will process heavy crude oil and convert it into high quality refined products that meet the highest international specifications. Products will include diesel fuel, aircraft fuel, gasoline as well as petrochemical products such as parazelene, aromatic gasoline and propylene. Saudi Aramco and Total will share the marketing of the refinery products. This important project will allow further expansion and diversification of Saudi Arabia's refining and petrochemical industry infrastructure and creation of more employment opportunities within the Kingdom. Jubail Industrial City was selected as the site of the refinery due to its proximity to the heavy crude oil supply system and other vital facilities such as King Fahd Industrial Port, the desalination and power plants and the residential area.
