Oman

Country Analysis Brief Overview

Oman is the leading regional non-OPEC oil exporter.
Oman has thus far implemented a successful program to reverse the decline in production, deploying some of the most sophisticated methods of oil extraction.
Oman requires increased natural gas supplies to meet the growth in its domestic consumption as well as its enhanced oil recovery projects and LNG export obligations.
