Project summary

OQ is developing an NGL chain linking extraction at Saih Nihayda with fractionation, storage and export infrastructure at Duqm. Public sources establish the project and its earlier qualification process, while the current procurement outcome requires fresh owner confirmation.

What to watch

Watch for FEED selection, the route into EPC, confirmed package boundaries and owner-issued schedule updates. Verify current participation requirements before committing bid resources.

Evidence and access caveats

MEED's 1 July 2026 public report describes additional time for revised prices but does not verify an October bidding window. The official US$750m estimate published on 10 June relates to the Duqm processing component; it is not a confirmed full-programme value or contract award.
