How BP transformed a remote Omani desert to a massive gas operation facility the size of Greater London. An OER report

Converting a land mass covered by an enormous semi-sandy desert plain, dunes and flat terrain to a massive gas field, the size of Greater London, is nothing short of a miracle. BP Oman did exactly this when it turned a remote region deep in Oman’s desert to a gas processing plant. Located almost 220 miles (350 kilometres) southwest of Muscat, the facility also includes accommodation blocks, medical and sports facilities, warehouses, workshops, an electricity substation, a water treatment plant, state-of-the-art telecommunications and offices - all built to support a network of well sites across a vast area.
The Khazzan tight gas field in Oman which started production recently is the latest of BP’s seven major projects to come online this year and certainly one of the most challenging. From the industry-leading technology required to unlock resources trapped under three miles (five kilometres) of solid rock, to its remote desert location necessitating the entire operation’s infrastructure to be built from scratch, Khazzan represents a major feat of engineering.
