Petrojet to construct pipeline in Oman

Egyptian engineering procurement and construction contractor, Petrojet, which is particularly well established in Abu Dhabi, has signed a US$273mn contract to facilitate the construction of a 193 km natural gas pipeline in Oman

Further advancing the rapidly growing mutual cooperation on natural gas infrastructure, the deal was initiated at the presence of Karim Badawi, Egypt’s Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, and Mansoor Ali Al Abdali, Managing Director of OQ Gas Networks (OQGN). 

The contract also finalised the delivery of the first phase of OQGN’s hydrogen pipeline network, which will include 400 km of the planned 2,000 km system at approximately US$250mn.

This contract win will support the company in preparation for the upcoming green hydrogen and Natural Gas Liquids Extraction (NGLE) projects, leveraging its international expertise as Oman expands its new-energy ambitions.

The contract's relevance couldn't have been better timed as it was announced in line with Oman’s Green Hydrogen Summit, where collaboration opportunities were explored. 

The summit also reviewed progress by Engineering for the Petroleum and Process Industries (ENPPI) and Egypt Gas as they complete registration on OQGN’s Tawreed platform. The Duqm Refinery is nearing completion as the companies finalise technical pre-qualification documents for gas pressure reduction stations.

ENPPI, which partners with OQGN, Oman Tank Terminal Company (OTTCO), and Duqm Refinery, remains a key contender for upcoming project tenders. Discussions also highlighted broader Egyptian company participation in Oman’s energy projects.
