The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) has signed a framework agreement with Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) to explore development of an ethylene dichloride facility in Ruwais.
ADNOC and RIL will evaluate the potential creation of a facility that manufactures EDC adjacent to ADNOC’s integrated refining and petrochemical site in Ruwais, Abu Dhabi. ADNOC would supply ethylene to the potential joint venture and provide access to world-class infrastructure at Ruwais, while RIL will deliver operational expertise and entry to the large and growing Indian vinyls market, in which it is a key participant.
