Oman LNG Marks 1,000th Export to Japan

Oman LNG has successfully exported its 1,000th LNG cargo to Japan’s Osaka Gas Co Ltd, marking a major milestone in the longstanding energy relationship between the Sultanate of Oman and Japan. The achievement highlights Oman LNG’s role as a dependable supplier of clean energy and its efforts to establish Oman as a key hub in the global LNG sector. Japan has remained a primary destination for Omani LNG exports since the company’s inception more than 25 years ago.

Hamed bin Mohammed al Naamany, CEO of Oman LNG, said the shipment represents the company’s enduring success and strong ties with partners across the gas value chain. He emphasised that the company’s robust relationship with Japan is a cornerstone of its operational achievements and its vision for reliable and sustainable LNG supply. Al Naamany added that the milestone reflects Oman LNG’s contribution to the global energy landscape and its commitment to fostering international partnerships. He also addressed the energy sector’s evolving challenges, calling for the adoption of efficient practices to maintain reliability in supply.

The CEO highlighted Oman LNG’s ongoing sustainability initiatives and emissions-reduction projects, which align with the nation’s objective of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Since the first export in 2000, Oman LNG has also made significant contributions to national development through its social investment programmes. These initiatives, he noted, have become a model for private sector involvement in corporate social responsibility, helping to strengthen collaboration between the public and private sectors in support of Oman’s broader economic ambitions.
