Omanβs oil and gas sector is facing a growing need to balance production efficiency with emissions reduction as environmental performance increasingly influences international market access, investment and financing. A new report by Oxford Business Group (OBG), in partnership with Petroleum Development Oman (PDO), highlights how reducing emissions intensity, managing methane, curbing gas flaring and improving emissions reporting can strengthen the sectorβs long-term competitiveness. The report, The Energy Transition and National Transformation in Oman, also identifies digitalisation, real-time operational data, artificial intelligence and advanced analytics as important tools for improving asset performance, controlling costs and optimising resource use. As Oman advances its energy transition while maintaining hydrocarbons production, combining technology adoption, operational efficiency and stronger environmental management will be essential to supporting Oman Vision 2040, national net-zero ambitions and sustainable economic diversification.
