The phase 2 development comes close on the heels of the inauguration last month of the first phase of the Saih Rawl Depletion Compression project — an estimated $550 million investment that reinforces PDO’s dominant place at the heart of Oman’s flourishing gas industry. Presently the largest gas field in the country, Saih Rawl has been in production since 1991, catering to much of gas demand in the North of Oman. Volumes from Saih Rawl are processed at PDO’s massive Central Processing Plant (CPP) located not far the field.

Treated gas from the CPP is supplied to the LNG trains at Qalhat for export, as well as to the Government Gas System which in turn feeds power plants and industrial consumers mainly in the North of Oman. Also offtaking these treated volumes is the Oman-India Fertiliser plant at Sur, the South Oman Gas Line via a pipeline known as the Interconnector, as well as PDO itself for its internal power generation requirements. Treated condensate from the CPP is exported into the Main Oil Line, while extracted LPG is dispatched by road tankers.
