Energy Report Oman

  2012 MAY 11 - (VerticalNews.com) -- Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/wpr273/energy_report_oman) has announced the addition of the "Energy Report Oman" report to their offering.

  In 2012-16 energy consumption will grow faster than economic growth at an average of 11.5% a year (real GDP growth is forecast to average 5% in the same period). Annual energy consumption will rise from 18.6m tonnes oil equivalent (toe) in 2012 to 29.3m toe in 2016.

  Growth in energy consumption is driven by the increase in demand for electricity both by the residential and the industrial sector. The government subsidises gas that is allocated to industrial projects, to promote growth and encourage foreign companies to undertake projects in the sultanate. The total subsidy for 2012 is expected to hit OR126m (US$327.7m) compared with OR114m in 2011.

  Oman will continue to rely on hydrocarbons for its energy consumption in the forecast period. Natural gas will consistently constitute more than 70% of Oman's energy consumption with petroleum products making up the rest.
