Oman features a highly developed downstream refining sector anchored by major strategic processing complexes operated under OQ Refineries and Petroleum Industries, including the sprawling Mina Al Fahal refinery and the massive Sohar refinery and petrochemical complex. While various specialized micro-refineries, asphalt plants, and localized bitumen processing units operate across different governorates, the nation's primary refining capacity is consolidated within these world-class national facilities.
