Oman Crude Oil Production

Oil production increased by 10% in 2022 to 52 Mt, after remaining roughly stable since 2017. It increased rapidly from 2008 to 2016 (4.4%/year) as a result of enhanced oil recovery techniques and the development of new fields, in particular Western Bukhad and Makhaizna. From 2001 to 2007, oil production declined due to maturing oil fields, dropping from a peak of 50 Mt in 2001 to 38 Mt.

Oman has three refineries, Duqm (230 kb/d), Mina Al-Fahal (106 kb/d), and Sohar, the capacity of which increased from 116 to 198 kb/d in 2017. Duqm began operating in 2023.

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.
