oa Maturation of HPHT Tight Gas Fields in North Oman

Oman’s rapid domestic demand growth for gas, primarily for power generation, significant LNG sales contracts, and the petrochemical industry, will be met in the near future with a decline in conventional gas production. The supply shortfall may be met by Tight and Unconventional Gas, with its large volumes and long-term potential. To secure mid-long term supply Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) is executing an appraisal programme in North Oman focussing on the Amin Fahud Basin Tight Gas sandstones with porosities ranging from 3 to 10% and (ambient) permeabilities from 0.001 to 1 mD.
