SETTING THE STAGE FOR THE FUTURE OF THE HEAVY OIL INDUSTRY There is a growing interest in exploring and upgrading heavy oil to meet the future energy needs. Reports suggest by 2030, the global crude oil demand is estimated to be about 89 MMbbls/day; and an approximate 30% of that production is expected to come from heavy oil. Technological innovations, advancements in enhanced oil recovery methods, and infrastructural upgrades are increasingly making it possible to explore and upgrade heavy and extra-heavy oil; enabling the oil and gas producing countries to meet increasing consumption, growing demand, and production levels. Providing a convening platform for the global heavy oil community, across the entire value chain, to convene, exchange knowledge, and do business the World Heavy Oil Congress & Exhibition (WHOC) offers companies and heavy oil professionals exceptional opportunity to network, share project insights, generate new business, and meet global heavy oil players. Taking place in Muscat, Sultanate of Oman from Monday 2 - Wednesday 4 September 2019, WHOC hosts an all-encompassing three-day technical conference featuring case studies and presentations; a two-day strategic conference featuring key insights from global business and thought leaders across the heavy oil value chain, and a three-day international exhibition where NOCs, IOCs, EPCs, OEMs, service and technology companies will showcase their projects, products and services. His Excellency Dr Mohammed bin Hamad Al Rumhy Minister of Oil & Gas Sultanate of Oman Heavy Oil contributes approximately 15% of Oman’s oil production and is an area of growing importance for us as we continue to innovate and pioneer novel EOR technologies to meet the evolving demands of producing heavy oil. As the heavy oil sector matures, opportunities for collaboration, innovation and investment continue to advance and evolve. It is our pleasure to host the World Heavy Oil Congress & Exhibition in Muscat providing a platform for the global heavy oil industry to convene, exchange knowledge, and continue to innovate across the heavy oil value chain.

EXHIBITION Steve Kelly President & General Manager Occidental of Oman
Occidental is honored to attend the World Heavy Oil Congress and Exhibition (WHOC). For more than a dozen years, we have had the privilege of operating Mukhaizna, a heavy oil field that is also the largest oil field in the country. Our employees have developed tremendous expertise in heavy oil, particularly the Omanis we have been fortunate to hire and train from the concession areas where we operate. They have developed unparalleled experience in the region, and are a tremendous asset to us and to Oman. WHOC provides excellent opportunities for knowledge transfer and business networking, and we look forward to returning next year.

Oman’s petroleum and other liquids production averaged more than 1 million barrels per day in 2016, its highest production level ever.
Oman has two operating refineries with a combined capacity of 222,000 barrels per day (b/d) and plans to expand existing refinery capacity by 81,000 b/d by 2018.
By 2019, Oman plans to construct a new refinery with a total capacity of 230,000 b/d near Duqm, a port town on the Arabian Sea.
The country also plans to build a 200-million-barrel crude oil storage terminal at Ras Markaz, south of Duqm, which would be one of the world’s largest crude oil storage facilities.
