Oman upstream oil and gas activity at high levels 994527 MUSCAT, April 26 - Notwithstanding a commitment to capping crude production in line with a global output reduction pledge reached by Opec and non-Opec producers, activity levels in Oman’s oil and gas sector will continue to be sustained at peak highs, according to a top official of the Ministry of Oil & Gas. The goal, says Ministry Under-Secretary Salim bin Nasser al Aufi (pictured), is to build capacity at the upstream end of the business in order that when the global production caps are eventually lifted or scaled back, the Sultanate can spring back to optimum production levels literally in a snap.
