A combine of Shell and Total plans initial production of 500 MMcfd of natural gas from several discoveries to be developed in the Greater Barik area of onshore Block 6 in Oman, Total reports.
Production later might reach 1 bcfd, Total said as it announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding with the Omani government.
Shell is operator. Interests are 75% Shell and 25% Total, subject to a government back-in.
Total said it would use its equity gas entitlement as feedstock to develop a regional LNG bunkering service in Oman.
It plans to build a liquefaction train at Sohar with 1 million tonnes/year of capacity.
The plant could be expanded if warranted by expansion of the market for LNG as ship fuel.
