OQ8’s refinery in Duqm stands as one of the most advanced and strategically positioned energy facilities in the region. As a joint venture between OQ S.A.O.C and Kuwait Petroleum International, the refinery reflects the vision of both nations to establish a world-class operation that meets global demand while advancing local and regional development.
In 2024, the refinery completed the Lenders Reliability Test (LRT) on the first attempt. This was a critical milestone that confirmed the facility’s operational stability and readiness for sustained commercial performance. This achievement, alongside the successful export of over 375 vessels without incident, marked the transition of OQ8 into full commercial operations with global credibility.
