Plans have been firmed up for a 230-km-long pipeline carrying natural gas from central Oman to the new Duqm Special Economic Zone (SEZ) on the Wusta coast, a senior official of the SEZ Authority said here yesterday.
Yahya Khamis Juma al Zadjali, Head of Planning and Engineering at the Duqm SEZ Authority, said a corridor for the construction of the pipeline, linking the Saih Nihayda gasfield with Duqm, has already been delineated.
A tender for the engineering design of the project, which is being overseen by the state-owned Oman Gas Company (OGC), has now been floated, with the pipeline slated to come on stream by 2017, he stated.
