Oman LNG is a joint venture of the sultanate’s Ministry of Energy and Minerals, which holds the majority 51% stake, and foreign stakeholders.

The remaining 49% is held by UK/Dutch Shell (30%), France’s Total (5.54%), South Korea’s Korea LNG (5%), Japan’s Mitsubishi Corporation (2.77%), Japan’s Mitsui & Co (2.77%), Thailand’s PTTEP, following the acquisition of Portuguese firm Partex (2%); and Japan’s Itochu Corporation (0.92%).

Oman LNG secured $2bn of project financing in 1997 to set up its first LNG export terminal in the sultanate, the Qalhat LNG terminal, which was commissioned in 2000.

Oman LNG operates three gas liquefaction trains at its site in Qalhat, with a nameplate capacity of 10.4 million tonnes a year.

From 1 September 2013, Qalhat LNG was integrated with Oman LNG to form a single entity.

The terminal exports gas produced by state energy firm Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) from its central Oman gas field complex.
