MUSCAT: The delegation from the State Council and Majlis Ash’shura on Wednesday visited Occidental Petroleum Corporation (Oxy-Oman) at the Mukhaizna Field.

Following this, the delegation carried out a field trip to the Mukhaizna Field, and learned about the production processes and central control facilities.
Shaikh Dr Al Khattab said that they were delighted to visit the Mukhaizna Field and experience the facilities of one of the leading oil projects that employs the latest technology to improve production through enhanced oil extraction. He noted that projects implemented at the field site contributed to enhancing its contribution to the national economy, including the Mukhaizna Airport and the oil-for-water desalination plant.
He expressed his deepest gratitude to His Majesty Sultan Qaboos for the intense attention he had placed on development and prosperity of Oman.
