The Sohar polymer project is moving forward with strong momentum. It will launch its first phase early next year. ZL EOR Chemicals leads this major investment. The Canadian firm focuses on enhanced oil recovery solutions worldwide.
Therefore, it chose Oman for its strategic location, strong infrastructure, and growing industrial sector. The Sohar polymer project has a cost of $300 million. It will operate from Sohar Port, one of Oman’s busiest industrial zones.
In fact, the project’s production capacity will reach 350,000 tonnes annually after full completion.This will place it among the world’s top producers of acrylamide and polyacrylamide.
Since these chemicals are essential for oil recovery, fracking, and drilling, demand continues to grow.Consequently, the new plant will help meet regional and global demand for oilfield chemicals.Moreover, ZL EOR Chemicals plans to create local jobs and develop a skilled workforce in Oman.
Oman’s economy will benefit directly from this high-value industrial investment.At the same time, the Sohar polymer project supports Oman’s strategy to diversify beyond oil exports.
Furthermore, it strengthens the nation’s position as a major chemical and energy hub in the region.Construction at Sohar Port continues at a steady pace, with support from local authorities and partners.
Meanwhile, ZL EOR Chemicals is implementing strict environmental and safety standards for the facility. For example, the plant will use water-saving systems and emission-reduction technologies. As a result, the project aligns with both global sustainability goals and local regulations.
In addition, the Sohar polymer project enhances the country’s industrial profile and export capacity. Once operational, it will supply oilfield chemicals to global markets, including Asia and the Middle East.
As investment interest grows, other companies may follow ZL EOR Chemicals into Oman’s industrial sector. Eventually, this could lead to a wave of new projects focused on advanced manufacturing and energy services.
Indeed, the Sohar polymer project marks a major step in Oman’s journey toward economic transformation.
