Oman Oil Production & Consumption
Oil production decreased by 1.5% in 2023 to 52.3Mt, following an 11% increase in 2022; it remained roughly stable between 2017. It increased rapidly from 2007 to 2016 (3.7%/year) as a result of enhanced oil recovery techniques and the development of new fields, in particular Western Bukhad and Makhaizna. From 2000 to 2007, oil production declined due to maturing oil fields, dropping from a peak of48 Mt in 2001 to 35 Mt.

Oman Natural Gas Production & Consumption
The production of natural gas has increased regularly by almost 4%/year since 2010, reaching 46.7 bcm in 2023 (i.e. almost 5 times the level of 2 000).
Production from the Ghazeer gas field in Block 61 started in 2020 (15.5 bcm/year of gas and over 65 kb/d of condensates). It will double production from Block 61 where the Khazzan gas field is already producing 15.5 bcm/year. Block 61 holds the largest tight gas reserve in the Middle East.
The country has a network of about 4 200 km of high-pressure gas transmission pipelines.

Oman GHG emissions and CO2 emissions
In its second NDC (2021), Oman set an unconditional GHG emission reduction target of 4% and a conditional reduction target up to 7% of the BAU scenario by 2030. Under its BAU scenario, Oman estimates GHG emissions at around 125 MtCO2eq by 2030; the 7% cut would limit GHG emissions to 116 MtCO2eq (up from 2% in its first NDC in 2019).
The Ministry of Energy and Minerals has announced net-zero emissions by 2050.
