Oman's Oil Production Surges 10.6% in First Half of 2026

Oman's oil production surged by 10.6% in the first half of 2026, driven by higher crude output and stable export operations.

The total oil production reached 198.01 million barrels during the January-June period, up from 179.05 million barrels in the same period last year, according to data released by the National Centre for Statistics and Information (NCSI).

Average daily oil production rose by more than 10% to nearly 1.1 million barrels per day (bpd) in the first six months of 2026, up from 989,200 bpd a year earlier.

The combination of higher production and stronger oil prices is expected to support Oman's economic growth this year, providing additional fiscal revenues and offsetting softer growth in some non-oil sectors amid continued geopolitical uncertainty in the region.
