Duqm Refinery is an oil refinery at the port town of Duqm in central-eastern Oman, and is expected to have a capacity of 230,000 barrels per day. It is owned and operated by OQ8, a joint venture between OQ, a subsidiary of the Government of Oman, and Kuwait Petroleum International, a subsidiary of Kuwait Petroleum Corporation.[1][2]
In September 2023, Duqm Refinery completed its start-up processes, and planned to begin commercial operations by the end of the year.[3]
The refinery planned to add another 5% to 10% of output in 2024, and possibly increase its naphtha production.[4]
