Abu Dhabi Halts Operations at Main Gas Facility After Attack
(Bloomberg) -- Abu Dhabi suspended operations at its biggest natural gas processing facility after a fire, the second time operations at the project have been halted since the war in the Middle east began.
The Habshan gas facility was halted after debris fell in the area from the interception of an incoming attack, the Abu Dhabi Media Office said in a post on X. At Habshan, Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. operates the UAE’s main facility for collecting and processing gas from the emirate’s fields and distributing it for domestic use.
Habshan also has oil facilities and is the starting point for Adnoc’s crude pipeline to Fujairah, a key port that sits outside the Strait of Hormuz.
Hours earlier, Kuwait’s Mina Al Ahmadi oil refinery was also struck, with units in operation at the time catching fire. Authorities also said a power and water desalination plant was attacked early on Friday, causing damages to some components.
