Oman’s Duqm refinery works 92 per cent complete

RIYADH: Oman’s Duqm refinery works are nearly 92 percent complete, according to the country’s state energy holding company OQ.

The estimated $7 billion project saw 91.86 percent progress on engineering, procurement and construction by the end of May, OQ said in a social media post.

The mechanical completion of the project could, however, be delayed to 2023 due to issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic, Kuwait Petroleum International CEO, Nawaf Saud al-Sabah, told MEED in an interview in April 2021.
