Oil and Gas
Following a period of oil price volatility and reduced crude output, Oman’s hydrocarbons industry is poised for renewed growth, driven by new exploration, expanded gas production, and heightened private-sector investment supported by the gradual recovery in global oil prices.
With decades of experience in the sector, AMJ’s Oil and Gas specialists advise national and international oil and gas companies, E&P companies, oilfield service providers, contractors, government and government agencies, equity investors and lenders on all aspects of the hydrocarbons value chain in Oman.
Our expertise spans upstream, midstream and downstream operations, including the development and financing of LNG projects, conventional and unconventional gas initiatives, and major refinery and petrochemical projects. We advise clients on oilfield service arrangements, PSAs, concession agreements, EPC and construction contracts, pipeline development and financing, as well as dispute resolution in every forum.
AMJ’s team has been at the forefront of the recent upswing in acquisitions of interests in Oman’s oil blocks, as well as new investment into strategic gas assets. Our deep familiarity with Oman’s hydrocarbons regulatory environment — and our longstanding relationships with government and industry stakeholders — enables us to navigate complex legal and operational issues with clarity and precision.
Our integrated practice supports the full lifecycle of oil and gas investments, advising on strategic joint ventures, project development, M&A, equity and debt financing, Islamic finance, construction and engineering, and dispute management.
This work is underpinned by the firm’s market-leading strength in taxation, regulatory matters, real estate, environmental law and employment, ensuring that every transaction receives comprehensive, multidisciplinary support.
AMJ’s Oil and Gas team combines technical excellence with decades of practical experience in the Sultanate’s hydrocarbons sector, enabling us to deliver strategic, commercially informed and solutions-oriented advice to clients across the industry.
