bp signed its first exploration agreement in Oman back in 1925.
A century later, we’re operating one of the largest tight gas reservoirs, Block 61
bp in Oman
bp has a long history of oil and gas exploration and production in the region. In Oman, bp is the operator of Block 61 (Khazzan and Ghazeer) and holds 40% interest. OQEP holds 30% interest, PTTEP holds 20% and PC Oman Ventures Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Petronas, holds 10%. Block 61 produces 1.5 billion cubic feet of gas a day and nearly 55,000 barrels a day of associated condensate. With an estimated 10.5 trillion cubic feet of recoverable gas resources, the block has the capacity to deliver around 35% of Oman’s total gas demand.
Gas from Block 61 is distributed for domestic consumption via Oman’s national gas grid, while also boosting availability of feedstock supply for Oman LNG.
bp is committed to the development of a national workforce in Oman. In 2024, Omani nationals represented over 92% of bp’s workforce in the Sultanate – years ahead of the growth plan of 90% by 2025.
