Shell-Total Combine to Develop Omani Gas
05.17.2018 - NEWS

May 17, 2018 [Oil & Gas Journal] - A combine of Shell and Total plans initial production of 500 MMcfd of natural gas from several discoveries to be developed in the Greater Barik area of onshore Block 6 in Oman, Total reports.


Production later might reach 1 bcfd, Total said as it announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding with the Omani government.

Shell is operator. Interests are 75% Shell and 25% Total, subject to a government back-in. Total said it would use its equity gas entitlement as feedstock to develop a regional LNG bunkering service in Oman.

It plans to build a liquefaction train at Sohar with 1 million tonnes/year of capacity. The plant could be expanded if warranted by expansion of the market for LNG as ship fuel.
