By Conrad Prabhu — MUSCAT: APRIL 15 - Daleel Petroleum, ranked among the top five producers of crude in the Sultanate, has awarded a contract for the establishment of a new gas treatment train to its processing facilities in Block 5 onshore Oman in Dhahirah Governorate. The contract, representing the Phase 2 expansion of the company’s gas processing plant, will enhance the production of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and natural gas liquids (NGL), as well as contribute additional volumes of lean gas into the government gas grid, the company said.


“The project will also eventually eliminate flared gas in the near future,” Daleel Petroleum added in an overview of its 2016 performance.


Oman-registered Daleel Petroleum is a 50:50 joint venture between Mezoon Petrogas SAOC (a subsidiary of MB Holding) and Mezoon Petrogas BVI (a subsidiary of China National Petroleum Corporation).


Crude output climbed to an average of 48,787 barrels per day (bpd) in 2016, up from a target production of 48,500 bpd. Production is planned to be ramped up to over 50,000 bpd as part of its growth strategy, the company said.


In addition, the company delivered LPG at the average rate of 80 tonnes per day — a figure set to rise substantially upon the completion of the second gas train.


Expected reserves in the 992 sq km block, home to four key oilfields, are 154.8 million barrels.
