Oman Duqm Refinery
Refinery in Oman. Approximate location 19.73217, 57.65397.
RefineryOmanCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Oman Duqm Refinery is a refinery in Oman. Its listed capacity is 230,000 BBL per day. Refineries heat, fractionate and chemically transform crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through energy-intensive distillation and cracking — extremely demanding on steam generation and heat recovery. It is operated by Kuwait Petroleum Corp. By capacity it ranks #1 among 3 oil refineries in Oman. It emits about 3,142,119 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 23% of the CO₂e from the 13 facilities in Oman that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 59% above the national median for this sector.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-712784.

In context: how this facility compares
At 230,000 BBL per day, Oman Duqm Refinery is around the median refinery in Oman (198,000 BBL per day). Subsector: oil-and-gas-refining. As refinery, it requires high process heat (typically 200–600°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Refineries heat, fractionate and chemically transform crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through energy-intensive distillation and cracking — extremely demanding on steam generation and heat recovery.
