What We Do
Our Products
As a regional leader in base chemical production, OQBI produces 1.8 million tons per annum (Mtpa) of methanol, ammonia and LPG products, meeting global demand.
Production plants
OQBI’s three production plants are located in the Salalah Free Zone (SFZ), which provides corporate tax exemption, and receive feedstock under long-term contracts with the Integrated Gas Company (IGC), an entity owned by the Omani Ministry of Finance, through a pipeline network operated by OQ Gas Networks, which is part of the OQ Group.
Exports
100% of methanol and ammonia production and 87% of LPG products production are exported outside of Oman via OQ Trading (OQ Group’s global trading business).
Leading LPG Excellence
OQBI is a key player in Oman’s LPG industry, extracting and refining propane and butane from the country’s oil and gas resources.
As a cleaner, reliable energy source, LPG enhances energy security and supports global industries, creating jobs and reducing carbon footprints.
Fueling Innovation
In 2010, OQBI launched its methanol production.
Methanol is crucial for chemical production and is a vital feedstock for manufacturing everyday consumer goods such as plastics, plywood, and industrial solvents.
An Essential Element for Industry, Agriculture, and Environmental Health
OQBI is a leading regional ammonia producer, essential to global supply.
Ammonia’s versatility is crucial for agriculture, environmental processes, and the nitrogen cycle. With rising demand for fertilisers and clean fuels, its significance will grow as sustainability efforts and population increase.
