U.S. Ambassador to Oman Dr. Richard J. Schmierer inaugurates American Week
The U.S. Agricultural Trade Office in Dubai, in cooperation with the U.S. Embassy
in Muscat, The Sultan Center (TSC), and Delta Airlines organized American Week
from September 28 to October 4, 2011. The event was inaugurated by H.E. Richard J.
Schmierer, U.S. Ambassador to Oman, at TSC’s outlet in Qurum. The event show-
cased nearly 4,000 U.S. products ranging from food to sports and household goods.
The event included a special display of U.S. products, a tasting activity, and an all-
American menu that was served at Jeans Grill Restaurant. Also, TSC loyalty custom-
ers who purchased any two American products qualified for an electronic draw to
win two roundtrip tickets to the continental U.S. on Delta Airlines. The event was a
great opportunity to showcase American products.

PetroTel Awarded Its Second Concession in Oman
The subsidiary company of the Texas-based company
PetroTel was awarded a license to explore hydrocar-
bons in Block 40 of northern Oman. PetroTel Oman
Offshore, LLC signed an Exploration and Production
Sharing Agreement (EPSA) with the Ministry of Oil
and Gas. PetroTel has committed to invest USD35
million in a number of activities during the appraisal
phase. Block 40 was previously explored by other
companies without any successful commercial dis-
coveries.
CoreSulphur to Jointly Establish Sulphur Bentonite Fertilizer Project
in Oman
The California-based company CoreSulphur along with the two Oman-based companies, Awtad Pro-
jects and Development and Takamul Investment Company, has formed Sohar Sulphur Fertilizer, LLC
to develop a major sulphur bentonite and micronutrient complex in Oman. The plant will be located in
Sohar and the basic input for the project - sulphur - will be sourced from the Sohar Refinery. The plant
is expected to be operational by the end of the second quarter of 2012.
GlassPoint to Build Solar EOR System in Oman
The California-based company GlassPoint Solar won a contract to
build a seven-megawatt, solar-enhanced oil recovery (EOR) sys-
tem for Petroleum Development Oman (PDO). The system will
be used for one of the pilot projects in southern Oman and is ex-
pected to reduce the natural gas requirement for EOR by up to
80%. This will help Oman use natural gas for other applications
and hence spur economic and industrial development.
