As part of the Sultanate of Oman’s commitment to contribute to energy security in response to the demand on green energy, the Government of the Sultanate of Oman has announced its plan to develop an additional liquefied natural gas (LNG) train with a capacity of 3.8 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) at Qalhat Industrial Complex in South Sharqiyah Governorate.
The expansion will boost Oman’s production of LNG to 15.2 MTPA, optimise the utilisation of the country’s available discovered volumes of natural gas resources, while enhancing its LNG export capabilities.
H.E. Salem Al Aufi, minister of Energy and Minerals says: ‘The addition of a new LNG train is a key component of Oman’s strategy to solidify its position as a leading producer and exporter of liquefied natural gas in the global market. By leveraging our existing infrastructure and resources, we aim to capitalise on the growing demand for clean energy sources while also contributing to the diversification and long-term sustainability of Oman’s economy.’
