Crude Oil and Condensate Production — - Crude Oil and Condensate Production refers to the total volume of crude oil and lease condensate extracted from oil and gas reservoirs within a country during a given year. It is typically measured in thousand barrels per day (kb/d) and represents the production of unrefined liquid hydrocarbons before processing or refining. Crude oil is the naturally occurring liquid petroleum extracted from underground reservoirs, while condensate is a light hydrocarbon liquid that separates from natural gas when pressure and temperature decrease during production. This indicator provides insight into a country's upstream petroleum production capacity, resource availability, and contribution to global oil supply.
Measured in thousand barrels daily, the dataset reflects domestic crude oil and condensate production, making it an important indicator of upstream energy activity, resource utilization, energy security, and petroleum sector performance.
Oman recorded crude oil and condensate production of 981 thousand barrels daily in 2015, increasing to 1,004 thousand barrels daily in 2016 before declining to 971 thousand barrels daily in 2017. Production recovered slightly to 978 thousand barrels daily in 2018 before easing again to 971 thousand barrels daily in 2019. Output declined to 951 thousand barrels daily in 2020 amid weaker market conditions and production adjustments. Production recovered to 971 thousand barrels daily in 2021 and increased significantly to 1,064 thousand barrels daily in 2022, the highest level recorded during the review period. In 2023, production eased marginally to 1,049 thousand barrels daily while remaining above most previous years.
Overall, the dataset highlights relatively stable crude oil and condensate production, with a noticeable production recovery during the final two years of the review period. The trend reflects sustained upstream investment, improved field performance, and the country's ability to maintain production despite changing market conditions.
The dataset serves as a valuable resource for monitoring national oil production performance, evaluating upstream sector developments, and assessing long-term supply dynamics. It also supports production forecasting, investment analysis, energy market assessments, and policy development. Researchers, policymakers, and industry stakeholders can use the information to evaluate production efficiency, resource management strategies, and future upstream opportunities while supporting informed decision-making across Oman's petroleum industry.
