Adén Refineries: Why is it idle
Since 2015, the Aden refineries have ceased production due to a cutoff in oil supplies and deteriorating technical conditions. Although there has been limited activity in asphalt production and logistical services, the refinery has not restored its primary function of oil refining for over a decade. Reactivating it faces several obstacles, most notably the shutdown of the main power station and delays in modernization projects caused by funding shortages, technical issues, and administrative problems, all of which hinder full operations. Additionally, the Yemeni economy bears the burden of importing fuel amidst declining foreign revenues. Restoring the refinery's function requires an updated technical assessment, actual project funding, stable crude oil supplies, and operational capital—conditions that have yet to be met. As a result, the refinery remains in a state of waiting and partial halt.
