Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) has awarded China-based Jereh Group the main contract for the Al-Ghubar gas-oil gravity drainage (GOGD) facility at Qarn Alam in its Block 6 concession, sources told MEED in a report published on 12 November 2026. A project kick-off meeting between PDO and Jereh has also taken place, the sources said. MEED had earlier reported that Jereh was the lowest bidder. No contract value or award date was disclosed.

The engineering, procurement and construction scope covers a sour facility designed to handle up to 1,800 standard cubic metres a day of oil, up to 10,421 cubic metres a day of water and up to 256,934 cubic metres a day of gas lift, with production exported to PDO’s main oil line. PDO floated the tender in March; commercial bids were submitted by 1 September after several extensions. Other bidders named by MEED were ENPPI with Petrojet, GS Engineering & Construction and Larsen & Toubro Energy Hydrocarbon.

What to watch: confirmation by PDO and any disclosure of the contract value.
