AFK Petroleum FZC is a petroleum refinery operating in the Hamriyah Free Zone, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. The company processes condensate feedstock sourced primarily from regional UAE suppliers into a portfolio of refined petroleum products targeting strong-demand domestic segments.
Located in one of the Gulf's premier industrial free zones, AFK Petroleum benefits from direct access to regional energy markets, proximity to key domestic buyers, and a logistics model purposefully engineered to minimise exposure to global maritime chokepoints such as the Strait of Hormuz.
The refinery's production slate is weighted toward naphtha and middle distillates, including diesel and kerosene, aligning with the highest-demand fuel categories in both domestic and regional markets.
AFK Petroleum has been structured from the ground up with operational and financial characteristics designed to deliver resilience across market conditions.
The Hamriyah Free Zone offers direct access to regional energy markets, established logistics infrastructure, and proximity to UAE domestic buyers. All of these are critical enablers of an efficient refining operation.
From UAE-based condensate procurement through to domestic product distribution, AFK's supply chain is entirely intra-regional, insulating the business from global shipping disruptions.
By focusing on naphtha, diesel, and kerosene, the most margin-accretive products during supply tightness, AFK is positioned to outperform through both normal and disrupted market cycles.
The refinery carries war & terrorism insurance, CAR insurance, business interruption cover, and DSU protection, ensuring continuity and investor security under a wide range of scenarios.
