The state-owned operator is moving forward with Wave 1 and Wave 2 project bundles that could keep EPC firms busy for years.
Muscat – July 23, 2026
Petroleum Development Oman has chosen at least four contractors or consortiums for framework agreements covering a series of oil and gas developments worth roughly $6 billion. The deals govern engineering, procurement, and construction work across PDO's Block 6 concession, which holds 202 oil fields and 43 gas fields spread over 75,000 square kilometers.
The framework structure works like a pre-approved vendor list. Contractors selected under these agreements will be invited to bid on individual projects within two categories: Wave 1 and Wave 2.
Wave 1 includes three major developments:
The Al-Ghubar Gas-Oil Gravity Drainage project, located in Qarn Alam, is a new sour gas facility designed to handle 1,800 standard cubic meters per day of maximum oil production, along with water and gas lift handling.
The Raba Hub Development targets 176 million barrels of unconventional reserves and aims to add 50,400 barrels per day of output by 2029. Production from Raba Infill will go to the existing gathering station, while Raba East production will feed a new hub station.
The Rabab Harweel Integrated Project (RHIP) Tranche 2 involves miscible gas injection across multiple fields, including depletion compression facilities and expansion of the gas supply network. First production is scheduled for 2028.
Wave 2 covers a broader range of developments:
Nimr flare recovery with microturbines and gas sweetening
Dulaima CO₂-based enhanced oil recovery
Wadi Umairi with separators, tanks, and water injection pumps
Makarem sour gas development with gas sweetening and sulfur recovery
Bout full field development with gathering station and separators
Burhan NW depletion compressor facilities
Therm NMT ALSE sour gas project with steam generation
PDO floated the prequalification document on April 17, 2025, with initial proposals due May 8. That deadline was extended twice—first to June 15, then to June 22.
The selected contractors now join what effectively functions as a long-term agreement pool for EPC services, similar to what Saudi Aramco has set up for its offshore and onshore projects.
Oman is pushing to boost hydrocarbon production while also looking at lower-carbon solutions. The Dulaima CO₂ project, in particular, aligns with the Ministry of Energy and Minerals' push for enhanced oil recovery technologies that also reduce environmental footprint.
PDO is 60% owned by the Omani government, with Shell holding 34%, TotalEnergies 4%, and PTTEP 2%. The company operates the country's largest and most productive concession.
