Oman's energy market is characterised by its oil and gas reserves. The country has made significant investments in enhancing its production capabilities and infrastructure. The state-owned petroleum company, Petroleum Development Oman (PDO), plays a central role in driving these initiatives. PDO's efforts to optimize oil extraction techniques and explore new fields have contributed to Oman's position as a player in the global energy market. bp and Oxy are also major players in Oman.

The Energy Industries Council (EIC) is currently tracking 92 energy projects with a market value for the region of US$135.5 billion for the period to 2030.

In addition to its oil and gas resources, Oman has considerable potential for renewable energy development. The country's geographical location and climate conditions make it an ideal candidate for solar and wind energy projects. Oman has already initiated several renewable energy projects, such as the Dhofar Wind Power Project and the Amin Solar PV Project, which aim to harness the country's natural resources.

During the event Oman inaugurated its Net-Zero Centre and in another major push for green investments, state owned energy company OQ signed 13 strategic agreements worth over US$2bn to boost renewable energy projects across the country.
