Sohar continues to be the focus of the Sultanate’s industrial ambitions, where Oman is investing more than $ 12 billion in projects. This includes,

Aromatics Complex
Polypropylene Plant
Methanol and Fertilizer Projects
Aluminum Smelter
Two Steel Plants

The significant project is Sohar Refinery, which was built by JGC Corporation from Japan on an EPC Contract basis. The project will provide feedstock for another major venture – Aromatics Oman (AOL) – located in Sohar Industrial Port. The $ 1.6 billion plant will process Naphtha from the refinery using Axens Technology. With a production capacity of 814,000 MT of Paraxylene and 210,000 MT of Benzene per year, the project will shape up to be the world’s largest grassroots Paraxylene plant.

AOL has signed the EPC Contract with LG International Corporation and GS Engineering and Construction Corporation for the world-scale plant.

The 1.7 billion Aluminum Smelter, being set up jointly with Alcan, is expected to have an installed production capacity of 350,000 MT per year (tpy) when completed by late 2008. The project will also have a captive 1,000 MW Power Station.

Oman plans to build at least two steel factories to help ease spiraling steel prices while existing plants at Rusayl and Raysut could be expanded.

Abu Dhabi-based Al Gaith Holdings is developing a Dh 2.75 billion ($ 750 million) Shadeed Iron and Steel Plant. The plant in Sohar Industrial Port shall produce 1.5 million tpy of steel billets. Another steel plant is being set up in JV with Brazilian Mining Company Vale do Rio Doce. Vale will supply 100% of the raw material for the mill.

A major project in the fertilizer sector is being spearheaded by Sohar International Urea and Chemical Industries (SIUCI). With an annual production capacity of 1.2 million MT of Granular Urea, the project is considered as one of the largest Greenfield private sector projects in the world.
