- Oil Production refers to the total amount of crude oil extracted from underground reservoirs within a country during a given year, before any refining or processing takes place.
Oman Oil Production was 1.05 Million Barrels Daily in 2023, down 1.4% on 2022. The Oil Production dataset of Oman from 2015 to 2023 provides a clear and consistent view of the country's oil production landscape, highlighting output trends, production levels, supply changes, industry performance, and annual market developments over the observed period.
Oman Oil Production moved from 0.981 Million Barrels Daily in 2015 to 1.05 Million Barrels Daily in 2023 (+6.9%), an average of +0.8% a year. The series high was 1.06 Million Barrels Daily in 2022 and the low 0.951 Million Barrels Daily in 2020.
The gap between the series high (2022) and low (2020) is 0.113 Million Barrels Daily. The sharpest single-year move was +9.6% in 2022.
Among the 27 countries in this dataset, Oman ranks 15 for 2023, behind U.S. (19.36 Million Barrels Daily) and Saudi Arabia (11.39 Million Barrels Daily). It accounts for 1.1% of the global total in 2023.

Data definition
Oil Production — - Oil Production refers to the total amount of crude oil extracted from underground reservoirs within a country during a given year, before any refining or processing takes place. It is typically measured in thousand barrels per day (kb/d) and represents the output of crude petroleum from both conventional and unconventional sources. This indicator reflects a country’s upstream oil industry performance, resource availability, and role in global energy supply. It is widely used to assess production trends, energy security, and dependence on oil resources for economic development.
The data includes crude oil extracted from both onshore and offshore oil fields, covering production from conventional wells as well as unconventional sources such as tight oil and shale oil where applicable. It includes all crude oil produced at the wellhead before refining, processing, or blending. The indicator may also include lease condensate when reported as part of crude oil production in national energy statistics. Data is compiled from national energy agencies, oil companies, and standardized international energy databases, ensuring consistency in comparing production levels across countries and over time.
The data excludes refined petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, kerosene, LPG, and other products derived from crude oil after refining. It does not include natural gas production, natural gas liquids (except where classified as condensate under crude oil reporting), biofuels, synthetic crude from coal-to-liquids or gas-to-liquids processes, or refinery gains. The indicator does not measure oil consumption, reserves, imports, exports, or refining capacity. Minor variations may arise due to differences in national reporting standards, classification of condensates, and estimation methodologies used across countries.

Measured in thousand barrels daily, the dataset reflects total oil production and serves as an important indicator of upstream activity, domestic energy supply, investment trends, resource development, and the overall performance of Oman's petroleum sector. The dataset supports analysis of annual production movements, upstream investment, operational performance, and the country's contribution to regional crude oil supply.
Oman produced 981 thousand barrels daily in 2015 before increasing to 1,004 thousand in 2016. Production declined slightly to 971 thousand barrels daily in 2017 before recovering to 978 thousand in 2018. Output eased marginally to 971 thousand barrels daily in 2019 and declined further to 951 thousand in 2020. Production recovered to 971 thousand barrels daily in 2021 before increasing significantly to 1,064 thousand in 2022 and remaining relatively strong at 1,049 thousand barrels daily in 2023. The recovery reflects continued upstream investment, enhanced oil recovery techniques, improved field performance, and efficient development of existing producing assets.
Overall, the dataset illustrates relatively stable production during the first half of the review period followed by a notable increase during the final years. The upward trend highlights Oman's continued efforts to enhance domestic oil production through technological innovation, operational improvements, and sustained investment in upstream exploration and production activities.
The dataset serves as a valuable resource for monitoring national oil production performance, evaluating supply trends, assessing upstream investment, supporting market analysis, forecasting future production, and enabling policymakers, researchers, investors, and industry stakeholders to develop effective energy strategies and production planning.
