Crude Oil Production
Oil production rebounded to its 2019 level of 47.7 Mt in 2021, after a 2% drop in 2020. According to preliminary data, oil production increased by 10% in 2022. Previously, it had remained stable between 2015 and 2019. It increased rapidly from 2009 to 2015 (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.

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.
