• PDO Dimensions
• PDO Green project to reduce CO2 emissions and Rise environmental awareness
• Using Solar thermal to produced steam
• PDO Flaring Reduction and Gas Conservation Strategy Energy saving and Gas conservation
• Produced water Management Nimr Reed bed project, Bio Saline Agriculture and salt production
PDO Dimensions
• 1967: The first oil consignment was exported.
• 2015: - Oman Oil Production ………950 K Bl/D
• Number of active wells ………………~8,000
• PDO Workforce, ………………………. ~8,000
Contractor Workforce …………………~ 45,000
• Oil is produced by:
-Self flow
-Gas lift,
-Gas injection,
-Water injection,
-Seam injection, - Polymer injection

Monitoring Period• Very good performance so far• Expected to deliver above
contractual values
Pilot Information:• Location: Amal West• Specs: 50 t/d, 90 bar, 80% saturation• Technology: parabolic troughs housed inside agriculture-style
green house• Area 15,200 m2 (2 football Pitches
Up to mid September 2016, the system has produced 50,570 tons of steam, saving 129,052 MMBTU of natural gas, ~ 9,204 tons of CO2

Nimr Reed Beds project Benefits
7
Reduction of 300,000 tonnes CO2 per year (based on conversion rate of 0.54kgCO2/kWh)Gas savings of up to 5BCF per yearRecovering almost 250bbl/d of oil
Objective
Maximise utilization of produced water
Reduce Deep Water Disposal (DWD) cost
• Reduce high power/gas OPEX cost associated with DWD pump operation

Produced Water Utilization - Fahud Salt Project
Benefits Reduction of 29,000 tonnes CO2 per year (based on conversion rate of 0.54kgCO2/kWh)Gas savings of up to 0.6BCF per year
Objective
• Avoid oil deferment of 300 - 400m³/d
• Maximise utilization of produced water
• Transform produced water from liability to opportunity
