Oman plans to boost capacity at its Sohar refinery by up to 50 per cent by 2016 to satisfy its own rapidly rising fuel demand, the chief executive of Oman Oil Refineries and Petroleum Industries Company (Orpic) said.
Oil production is finally being ramped up at a number of fields that were not damged during six months of fighting between rebels and forces loyal to ousted leader Moammar Qadhafi.
The first quarter of 2012 could see Bahrain Petroleum Company (Bapco) finalise its expansion plans that would help boost Bahrain’s refining capacity to nearly half a million bpd.
