Muscat: Dukam Refinery and Petrochemical Industries, one of the largest energy projects in the Gulf region, has been inaugurated. The project was submitted to the country by the Ruler of Oman and the Emir of Kuwait. The refinery is located within the Dukam Special Economic Zone.
The massive Duqam refinery project is a collaboration between the Omani OQ Group and the Kuwait Petroleum International Company. Commencement of operations on a commercial basis could increase Oman’s total refining capacity to 500,000 barrels per day.
The refinery is equipped with state-of-the-art technology including modern hydrocarbon crushing and coking units. It will play a crucial role in transforming the region into a bustling industrial and financial hub.
Leveraging its strategic maritime location on Oman’s east coast, the refinery will be a key driver in exporting petroleum products to global markets. Dukam Refinery will produce a variety of products like liquefied petroleum gas, naphtha, diesel and jet fuel.
The new refinery is the largest joint investment project between Kuwait and Oman. Joint investment will help to strengthen mutual relations and cooperation between the two countries. It is the largest investment project between two Arab Gulf countries in the fields of refineries and petrochemicals.
