The Integrated Gas Company (IGC) is drawing attention to the energy solutions it is developing to strengthen Oman’s gas value chain and support the country’s industrial and economic growth

Formed in late 2022, IGC is now the sole entity overseeing gas aggregation, allocation, and supply contracts across the Sultanate. The company manages more than 44 billion cubic metres of natural gas each year, distributing it across power generation, LNG exports, and industrial sectors.

Among its recent initiatives is the approval of a 193 km pipeline running from Fahud to Sohar with an extension to Ibri. The project is expected to expand the national gas network by 4.5% and improve supply to two key industrial zones.

Key solutions

IGC has also introduced a number of tools to manage demand and improve efficiency, including supply-demand forecasting systems and Oman’s first spot gas auction platform. These measures currently serve more than 130 end-users in sectors such as power, petrochemicals, metals, and manufacturing.

The company is additionally playing a role in Oman’s energy transition, supporting low-carbon projects such as the Vulcan green steel development in Duqm while ensuring reliable gas supply for the country’s industries.

Through infrastructure projects and digital platforms, IGC is positioning itself as a central player in balancing the country’s energy needs with its long-term economic and sustainability goals.

“Gas is more than an energy source—it’s the engine of Oman’s industrial growth,” said Abdul Rahman Al Yahyaei, chief executive officer of IGC. “At IGC, our role goes beyond supply. We are orchestrating a national strategy that ensures every molecule of gas fuels long-term value for our industries, our people, and our economy.”
