In 1795, ethylene gas was called olefin gas. The first synthesis of ethylene gas compounds (dichlor and ethane) was performed in 1795 by a Dutch chemist. In the middle of the 19th century, because C2H4 had a lower hydrogen than C2H5 ethyl, suffixes (ene) of Greek origin were added to the end of ethyl, and after that olefin gas is called ethylene gas.

The downstream segment is rapidly growing its refining and petrochemicals capacity, while plans are under way to bring gas-to-liquids (GTL) technology to Oman for the first time. As a backdrop to these developments, the integration of the Oman Oil Company (OOC) and the Oman Refineries and Petroleum Industries Company (ORPIC) into the newly rebraned OQ has re-energised both companies and spawned value-added initiatives. Oman celebrated a significant year for refining in 2018, with the $2. Part of the improvement project allows for fuel oil output from Muscat’s Mina Al Fahal refinery to be further refined at Sohar, resulting in lighter products such as petrol, diesel and jet kerosene. Oman’s refining industry will receive its next major capacity boost when the Duqm Refinery and Petrochemicals Complex comes on-line in 2024. 6bn in funding from multiple sources, making it the largest deal ever signed in Oman, with contributions from 29 financial institutions from 13 countries and three export credit agencies. Funding from Kuwaiti and Omani banks represented 43% of the total. The technical specifications for the design, which will be completed by John Wood in the third quarter of 2020, include a steam cracker unit for the breaking down of crude oil by-products into gases and chemicals, as well as production facilities for hydrogen, synthetic gas, methanol and other Key to plans for the petrochemicals phase of Kuwait Petroleum Duqm project is an natural gas liquids extraction plant in central Oman, which will process gas supplied by the Oman Gas Company and deliver it to the petrochemical complex via a new pipeline. The intention is for petrochemicals production in Duqm to satisfy both local and international consumption for diversified industries by ensuring a high quantity of feedstock for the plastics and textiles industries. Ahmed Al Jahdhamy, the group’s downstream CEO, told the Oman Society for Petroleum Services (OPAL) in mid-2019 that the group aimed to increase added value to processed crude from $15 per barrel to $25 per barrel by 2030. “A lot of this will be focused on downstream and further down into petrochemicals and specialty chemicals,” Al Jahdhamy told OPAL. In the case of OOC and Orpic Group subsidiary Oxea, this value addition can reach up to $90 per barrel on the upstream price, according to Salim Al Huthaili, CEO of the Duqm Refinery and Petrochemicals Industries Company. According to figures from Oman Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and the National Centre for Statistics and Information, in the first nine months of 2018 exports of petroleum products increased by 210% year-on-year, bringing in $1. The upward trajectory look set to continue into the near term, with Abdullah al Massan, CEO at Oman LNG Development Foundation, telling industry media in September 2019 that the sultanate was aiming to increase its annual exports of LNG from 10. Oman LNG has a number of long-term LNG offtakers, with the largest being South Korea’s Korean Gas Corporation, receiving delivery of roughly 50% of Omani exports. Regional media reported in June 2019 that Oman LNG’s spot tendering was occurring at a rate of around three or four times a month. A report by consultancy McKinsey forecast that between 2018 and 2035 demand for fuel end-uses will gradually decrease, while demand for plastics and petrochemicals end-uses will remain robust. Thanks to its strong export links to Asia, Oman’s refining and downstream supply increase appears well positioned, with South and South-east Asia seeing the strongest growth in liquids demand at an average rate of 2% per year to 2035. As part of the Mabrouk gas field project being developed in the north-east of Oman, multinational oil company Royal Dutch Shell is slated to develop the country’s first GTL project at Duqm. Speaking at the Gas and LNG Middle East Summit held in Muscat in October 2019, Asje Tempelman, vice-president of Ventures East at Shell Integrated Gas, underlined that while establishing a GTL project would be it would provided a solid return on investment thanks to the purity and quality of the liquids produced, which are devoid of the sulphur and aromatics found in similar products produced from petroleum. The proposed project’s go-ahead is expected to be contingent on the price at which Oman is willing to sell its gas feedstock to Shell, which in turn depends on the scale of reserves found at the Mabrouk oil field. Oman’s gas consumption, including production and imports, amounted to approximately 45. This article is from the Energy chapter of The Report: Oman 2020.

Looking to maximise the benefit of its hydrocarbons reserves, Oman is investing in downstream oil-and-gas activities, including a new petrochemicals plant and an expansion at one of its refineries. On July 23 the Oman Refineries and Petroleum Industries Company (ORPIC) announced it was proceeding with a $5bn programme to boost processing capacity at its refinery in Sohar and build a nearby petrochemicals complex. Once completed, the plastics project will increase Oman’s petrochemicals production capacity from 200,000 tonnes per year to 1. Another component of the project is a 300-km pipeline to run between Fahud, the site of a future gas extraction facility that will provide 40% of the feedstock to the new petrochemicals plant, and Sohar. Though not directly connected to the plastics project, ORPIC is also planning to link Sohar and Muscat with a high-capacity pipeline, a development that will allow processed fuels to be moved to the capital without having to use road tankers. Estimates are that, when completed in 2016, the pipeline will reduce tanker traffic in Muscat by around 70%. The plastics plant is set to begin operations in 2018, a timeline that will dovetail with a planned expansion of ORPIC’s Sohar refinery, which will provide the majority of the feedstock for the petrochemicals project. In addition to offering long-term benefits to Oman by broadening the base of the economy, the refinery and plastics projects will likely offer more immediate opportunities for plant, equipment and services providers in the petrochemicals industry, as well as for construction companies and financial institutions. ORPIC has indicated that it will be looking to Omani, regional and international banks, along with global financial institutions, to generate financing, with Al Mahruqi saying on July 23 that a financial advisor had already been appointed for the Sohar refinery improvement project. The new plastics plant and the upgrade to ORPIC’s Sohar refinery will provide a boost to Oman’s hydrocarbons and petrochemicals industries.
