Crude oil refining is the backbone of modern energy production, transforming raw petroleum into valuable fuels and petrochemical feedstocks. At Duqm Refinery, our state-of-the-art refinery, located in the Special Economic Zone at Duqm (SEZAD), is designed to process up to 230,000 barrels per day (BPSD), significantly boosting Oman’s refining capacity. Our facility incorporates hydrocracking, hydro-treating, and delayed coking units, enabling us to produce high-quality petroleum products efficiently.
One of our primary objectives in refining is to maximize light and middle distillates, such as naphtha, jet fuel, diesel, and LPG. These products are essential for transportation, power generation, and industrial applications worldwide. Our hydroprocessing technology ensures that our fuels meet stringent environmental regulations, such as low sulfur standards.
The refining process involves several critical stages, starting with atmospheric and vacuum distillation, which separates crude oil into various fractions based on their boiling points. The lighter fractions undergo further treatment to remove impurities, while heavier residues are processed through hydrocracking and coking units to maximize fuel yields.
Our facility is equipped with advanced emission control technologies that minimize environmental impact while ensuring operational efficiency. This includes flare gas recovery systems, wastewater treatment plants, and energy-efficient heat exchangers, making Duqm Refinery one of the most sustainable refineries in the region.
With a strategic location near major international shipping routes, Duqm Refinery is well-positioned to supply global and regional markets, ensuring a stable supply of refined petroleum products. Our commitment to innovation and efficiency allows us to adapt to shifting energy demands while maintaining high operational standards.
Beyond fuel production, our refinery also plays a key role in supplying feedstocks for the petrochemical industry, supporting industries such as plastics, chemicals, and synthetic materials. This diversification enhances the economic value of our operations while meeting the growing demand for petrochemical products.
As the energy sector transitions towards cleaner fuels, Duqm Refinery remains dedicated to enhancing refinery efficiency and reducing emissions. Our continued investments in hydrogen production, carbon capture, and alternative energy integration position us as a leader in sustainable refining.
Operational safety and reliability are at the core of our refining processes. We adhere to the highest industry standards, implementing rigorous quality control measures to ensure that every product leaving our facility meets global fuel specifications.
We are also committed to fostering local expertise through training programs and workforce development initiatives, ensuring that Oman benefits from a highly skilled workforce capable of sustaining the country’s refining and energy industries.
