Oman is an Arab country on the southeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula. Oman shares maritime borders with Pakistan and Iran. The national economy of Oman is relatively diversified. The economy of Oman is dependent on oil exports. Revenues from petroleum have enabled Oman’s dramatic development over the last 30 years. Other sources of income for the economy of Oman include industry and agriculture. Less than 1% of Oman is under cultivation. The natural resources of Oman are fuel resources (petroleum and natural gas), minerals resources (copper, marble, asbestos, chromium, gypsum, and limestone), and fish. Petroleum fuels the economy of Oman and has contributed to the dramatic development of the country in the last 30 years. The oil production is carried out by Petroleum Development Oman (PDO). The Oman government owns 60% of the PDO. In 1976, Oman was producing 366,000 barrels of oil per day. Oman was able to compensate for the decrease in prices by increasing its oil production to 600,000 barrels a day. Compared to its neighbors, Oman does not have immense oil resources. Oman's total proven reserves of petroleum total about 5. The natural gas reserves of Oman are estimated at 849. All oil and gas infrastructure and projects in Oman are managed by the Ministry of Oil and Gas. In 2000, the Oman LNG processing plant in Sur was opened. The mineral resources of Oman are aluminum, chromite, dolomite, clay, quartz, zinc, copper, salt, silica, gypsum, limestone, gold, iron and steel, low-grade iron, and cement. The mountains in Oman contain ophiolites that remain intact and exposed. The mining industry in Oman has appealed interest from both local and foreign operators.
