Oman facing major gas shortage

Even with the start of delayed gas imports to Oman in November, the sultanate is still short of gas supplies to meet rapidly growing demand, an Omani newspaper reported the oil minister as saying on Sunday.

Abu-Dhabi-based Dolphin Energy will begin supplying 200 million cubic feet per day of gas from Qatar to Oman in November, daily newspaper Al Watan reported, citing Oil and Gas Minister Mohammad Al-Rumhy.


That is another month’s delay to the already postponed start in the flow through the line.

But the flow would be insufficient to meet the “huge demand” from the market and Oman’s industrial complexes, Al-Rumhy was reported as saying.
