Borouge 1 project in Ruwais, Abu Dhabi The petrochemical production plant in Ruwais, about 250 km west of Abu Dhabi City in the United Arab Emirates, is central to Borouge's operations.

Borouge 2 expansion In 2010, under the project name of Borouge 2, Borouge tripled the polyolefins manufacturing capacity of the Ruwais plant. Approximately USD 5 billion was invested to enable Borouge to produce a total of 2 million tonnes of Borstar® polyolefins per year. The Borouge 2 project includes an additional ethane cracker, a third polyethylene unit, an olefins conversion unit (OCU) for converting ethylene to propylene, and two new polypropylene units, spearheading the company's entrance into polypropylene production. Borouge 3 expansion The expansion project under the name of Borouge 3 includes an ethane cracker, two polyethylene units, two polypropylene units, and a low density polyethylene (LDPE) unit.
