Shell and TotalEnergies have launched natural gas production from Oman’s Mabrouk North-East field in the onshore Block 10, which will supply both local industry and LNG export facilities.

TotalEnergies holds a 26.55 percent interest in Block 10 and Shell operates the block with a 53.45 percent share. OQ also holds 20 percent in Block 10.

According to a statement issued by TotalEnergies on January 20, gas production is expected to reach 500 million standard cubic feet per day by mid-2024.
