MUSCAT -- Oman LNG and Oman Refinery Company LLC have joined the growing list of major energy companies that will take part in the prestigious Oil and Gas West Asia (OGWA) exhibition and conference, to be held from April 9 to 11 at the Oman International Exhibition Centre.
Now in its fifth edition, the OGWA is the only exhibition in Oman that showcases the latest projects of national oil companies in the AGCC as well as the services offered by international oil and gas equipment manufacturers.
The exhibition, which is held under the patronage of the Ministry of Oil and Gas, will give prominence to major developments in the industry, and it will also feature many new technologies for sustaining the industry's future growth.
"We look forward to our participation in the OGWA 2006 this April to show our company's operations and expertise in the LNG production," said Ali Al Hashar, acting corporate affairs manager at Oman LNG.
The Oman LNG is a joint venture company between the Omani government and other international investors. Established by a Royal Decree in 1994, the company is tasked with liquefying Oman's natural gas to serve the LNG requirements of international customers. As part of its social development initiatives, Oman LNG is also actively involved in the training of Omani youth.
The Oman Refinery Company (ORC), is responsible for supplying all types of petroleum products to the local market. Formed by a Royal Decree (number 7/82) on February 6, 1982, the ORC started to produce 50,000 bpd to cover the domestic demand. Later it was modified in 2001 and is currently refining 85,000bpd.
This move was in response to the rising demand for refined products by industrial, commercial and individual users.
"We are increasing our production capacity and adding new facilities to keep in step with Oman's continued economic development," stressed Salim bin Awadh Al Rubki, manager for administration and public relations at the ORC.
