LNG

Oct 27 (LNGJ) - BP of the UK said that phase one of its Khazzan natural gas project in Oman is 80 percent complete and on track to deliver first gas near the end of 2017. BP said combined production from phases one and two of the venture is expected to be 1.5 billion cubic feet of gas a day, equivalent to a third of the current total domestic gas production of LNG exporter Oman. Located on a desert site 350 kilometres south of the capital Muscat, work on the Khazzan tight gas project began in 2014. “It is a significant moment for Oman, with the gas that comes from Khazzan substantially increasing our country’s overall supply and supporting greater diversification of Oman’s industrial base,” said Yousuf Al Ojaili, President of BP in Oman.
