“The Sale and Purchase Agreement with BP unlocks new opportunities to leverage Oman’s presence in the global energy trade,” explained Hamed Al-Naamany, CEO of Oman LNG. “The expected revenues will not only support the national economy, but also support the energy transition, pragmatically.”

In August, Oman LNG signed a long-term agreement with Germany’s Securing Energy for Europe to supply 0.4 million tonnes of LNG, also starting from 2026.

At the time, the news agency reported that the four-year deal was the sultanate’s first with a German firm and was “considered a remarkable milestone for both countries, thus opening doors for new opportunities in the European markets.”

Earlier this year, the supplier also signed a ten year 800,000 tonnes per annum deal with TotalEnergies starting in 2025, and a nine-year supply agreement with the Petroleum Authority of Thailand starting in 2026.
