PETROJET Wins $273 Million EPC Contract for 120-Mile Gas Pipeline in Oman

PETROJET won a $273 million EPC contract from OQ Gas Networks to build a 193-km (120-mile) natural gas pipeline in Oman, part of the Fahud–Suhar Loop Line expansion to boost regional supply reliability.

CAIRO / MUSCAT (P&GJ) — Egypt’s state-owned Petroleum Projects and Technical Consultations Company (PETROJET) has secured a $273 million engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract from OQ Gas Networks (OQGN) to deliver a 193-kilometer (120-mile) natural gas transmission pipeline in Oman.

The award was announced during a meeting in Muscat between Egypt’s Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Karim Badawi and OQGN Managing Director Mansoor Ali Al-Abdali, where both sides discussed expanding cooperation on natural-gas infrastructure and energy-transition projects.

The new line forms part of the Fahud–Suhar Second Loop Line—a 400-kilometer (248-mile) expansion designed to reinforce Oman’s gas-supply reliability between production areas and Sohar’s industrial zone. PETROJET will execute nearly half the total route.

Badawi said the contract highlights Egypt’s commitment to exporting its petroleum-sector expertise and expanding partnerships with Gulf energy companies. Al-Abdali praised PETROJET’s track record across the region and its capacity to deliver complex projects to international standards.

Both parties also discussed cooperation in renewable energy, energy-efficiency initiatives, and workforce training programs to support sustainable industrial development.
