Omas Gas Company sets record for natural gas delivery

Oman Gas Company, the country's supplier of natural gas to industry and public utilities has achieved a new record for natural gas supply, with delivering 50.3 million standard cubic metres in a single day.
The company achieved the new record on June 17 with delivering 50.3 million standard cubic metres in a single day compared with 49.9 million standard cubic metres daily rate delivered in the previous year - an increase of 0.8 per cent.
This reflects the company's goal to contribute to Oman's economic progress by ensuring uninterrupted and reliable supply of natural gas to consumers across the country, Head of Gas Control at OGC said.

OGC is the main gas transportation company in Oman delivering natural gas to major consumers comprising domestic, power and desalination plants, fertilizer, methanol, petrochemical, refineries, steel and cement plants.
"This year, we have achieved the largest daily delivery of gas ever seen from OGC. High levels of power consumption are among the factors that have allowed us to set a new record.
Also, increased gas volumes demanded by Al Suwadi Power Company and Al Batinah Power Company are factors that have resulted in an increase in exports.

As we will be commissioning a gas supply station to fuel a new power plant in Sur, expected to start functioning by end of this month, we will definitely be witnessing a further increase in the gas volumes transported by the OGC," Maryam Said Al Kindy, Head of Gas Control at OGC, said.

Al Kindy said he is optimistic that the ever increasing demand from the commercial and power sectors will help us achieve new peak gas delivery records.
Since its inception in 2000, OGC has grown in stature and reputation into an integrated enterprise harnessing the power of Oman's natural gas transportation.
The company's gas pipeline network is spread across the country with more than 2500 kilometres of high pressure transmission pipelines and ancillary facilities covering Fahud, Muscat, and Sohar in the north and from Saih Rawl to Salalah in the south of Oman.
