After the oil was discovered in commercial quantities, Oman came into its own as an oil refining nation with the inauguration of the Mina Al Fahal Refinery in 1982 as the sole supplier of fuel in the country, under the patronage of His Majesty the Sultan.

Oman entered a new era in the oil refining business with the inception of the first refinery at the Mina Al Fahal area in Muscat. Following its sustained success, the Sohar Refinery Company was inaugurated in 2007. In a significant step towards providing unity of direction and a common set of targets, the merger of the two refineries has taken place to form the ‘Oman Refineries and Petrochemicals Company LLC’. Today, known as ORPC, we remain one of Oman’s key refining industries.

Oman Refineries and Petrochemicals Company LLC (ORPC) is a limited liability Company established vide the Royal Decree No. 99/2007 dated 23 September 2007 which stipulated the merger of Sohar Refinery Company LLC into Oman Refinery Company LLC.

To ensure that the countrys needs of light products are met, the first Refinery in Oman, the Mina Al-Fahal Refinery (MAF), commenced its operations in 1982 with an initial design capacity of 50,000 bpd by utilizing Omani crude oil. The Refinery later increased its capacity gradually to 80,000 bpd by the year 1987 and then to 85,000 bpd by 2001. Today, the MAF Refinery processes 106,000 bpd after a major turnaround, inspection and revamp project which took place in April 2007. 

Twenty four years after the commissioning of the first Refinery in Oman, Sohar Refinery was commissioned in 2006 with a capacity of 116,000 bpd. Sohar Refinery was built with state-of-the-art technology to process the feedstock of long residue that is produced at MAF Refinery and blended with crude oil. This feedstock is transported to Sohar from MAF Refinery via a dedicated 24-inch diameter, 266 km long pipeline. Today ORPC’s total process capacity stands at 222,000 bpd.

The Government of Oman, represented by the Ministry of Finance, owns 75% of the Company’s shares, while the Oman Oil Company owns 25%.

ORPC will continue to provide quality services and products, and with the two locations it will take full advantage of the synergies and combined experiences in the business to benefit its customers and all stakeholders.
