MEM Journey
Petroleum and minerals sector in the Sultanate of Oman has evolved tremendously since the ascension of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said, may God rest his soul, to power in 1970. The year 1925 has marked the beginning of the petroleum exploration operations in Oman, with the first shipment of oil 1967. Later in 1971, the Ministry of Economy was established, which was mainly based at that time on the Petroleum sector.
