Oxy signs contracts with Omani firms

Muscat - As part of its in-country value (ICV) strategy to support locally manufactured materials and maximize expenditure on goods and services made in Oman, Occidental Oman signed two new contracts with Oman Chlorine Company and Falcon Oil Field Services Company.

Under these new contracts, Oman Chlorine will supply made in Oman caustic soda to Occidental Oman; while Falcon Oil Field Services will provide Occidental Oman with high temperature logging services.

The signing ceremony was held at Occidental Oman’s headquarters in Muscat. The agreements were signed by Stephen Kelly, president and general manager of Occidental Oman; Sulaiman al Yahyai, chairman of Oman Chlorine; and Zahran al Aufi, managing director of Falcon Oil Field Services.

The contract with Oman Chlorine was signed as part of Occidental Oman’s ICV initiative.

“We highly appreciate the trust that Occidental Oman has placed on us by awarding this contract, and look forward to growing further with our operations in Oman, and providing products of the highest standards,” Yahyai said.

Falcon Oil Field Services will provide high temperature logging services for steam injection wells.

“We are excited by the opportunities this award will provide and we feel confident that together we will facilitate and serve industry demands. We are determined to provide quality services throughout our operations,” Aufi said.

Kelly said, “Occidental Oman’s ICV strategy aims to increase and improve the sustainable development of Omani goods and services, both locally and internationally. Occidental Oman looks to its ICV programme as a stepping stone to increasing the diversification of the economy, as the programme reaffirms our wideranging commitment in developing a competitive Omani supply chain.”
