Oman Crude Oil Production

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 CO2 Fuel Combustion/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.
