Oil and Gas
Oman’s hydrocarbons industry is poised for renewed growth, driven by new exploration, expanded gas production, and heightened private-sector. Recent government initiatives include licensing new concession areas.
AMJ has been advising on Oman’s oil and gas sector for more than four decades, supporting national and international oil companies, E&P operators, oilfield service providers, contractors, lenders, and government bodies across the entire value chain. Our team has extensive expertise in upstream, midstream and downstream operations, including LNG development, gas‑processing projects, enhanced oil recovery initiatives, and major refinery and petrochemical developments.
We advise on the full range of sector‑specific contracts and regulatory frameworks, including production‑sharing and concession agreements, joint ventures, EPC and construction contracts, pipeline development and financing, oilfield services arrangements, and regulatory compliance. AMJ has acted on many of the recent acquisitions and divestments involving Oman’s oil blocks reflecting heightened market activity as investors consolidate positions or enter the Omani upstream market. This includes transactions involving operators acquiring interests in producing blocks and strategic participation in gas assets, aligned with Oman’s efforts to expand gas‑fired industrial growth.
Our in‑depth understanding of Oman’s hydrocarbons legislation, combined with longstanding relationships with key government and industry stakeholders including the Ministry of Energy and Minerals, Petroleum Development Oman (PDO), OQ, and Energy Development Oman (EDO) enables us to navigate complex regulatory, commercial and operational issues with precision. We support clients through the entire lifecycle of energy assets, advising on project development, M&A, equity and debt financing, Islamic finance structures, construction and engineering, and associated land, tax, employment and environmental matters.
AMJ’s oil and gas team combines technical excellence with decades of practical experience in the Sultanate’s hydrocarbons sector, enabling us to deliver strategic, commercially informed and solutions-oriented advice to clients across the industry.
