Central News Agency (Dubai, 12th, comprehensive foreign report) The Habshan natural gas processing plant in the United Arab Emirates, one of the largest in the world and a major gas processing facility in the UAE, was targeted during the Middle East conflict. The operator announced today that full production capacity is not expected to be restored until next year.
According to AFP, ADNOC Gas, a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), stated that the Habshan gas processing plant, located in the capital Abu Dhabi, is currently operating at 60% capacity.
ADNOC Gas stated: "The company is currently working towards restoring 80% of its capacity by the end of 2026, and full production capacity by 2027."
ADNOC Gas reported that its net profit for the first quarter was US$1.1 billion, a 15% decrease compared to the same period last year.
The facility was attacked several times during the Middle East conflict, with at least three instances of fires caused by falling debris after projectiles were intercepted, leading to production disruptions.
During the war, the UAE was attacked more often than any other country by Iran. Iran not only targeted US assets within the UAE with drones and missiles but also attacked civilian infrastructure such as airports and energy facilities. (Editor: Yang Chao-yen) 1150512
