Oman has launched an Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) tender for the expansion of the Ras Markaz Oil Park near Duqm, marking another major step in strengthening the country's energy storage and export infrastructure. The expansion is part of Oman's long-term strategy to establish Ras Markaz as a leading regional hub for crude oil storage, blending, and export, leveraging its strategic location outside the Strait of Hormuz.
The project will expand storage capacity and associated infrastructure, including tank facilities, pipelines, utilities, and marine export systems. By increasing the terminal's capabilities, Oman aims to enhance energy security, improve supply chain resilience, and attract international oil producers and traders seeking secure and flexible storage solutions. The EPC tender signals that the project is moving from planning into execution, creating opportunities across engineering, construction, marine operations, and industrial services.
Ras Markaz is a key component of Oman's broader vision to develop Duqm into an integrated energy and logistics hub, supporting crude oil exports, refining, and future downstream developments while reinforcing the country's role in global energy markets.
