Under the patronage of H.E. Qais bin Mohammed Al Yousef, Chairman of the Public Authority for Special Economic Zones and Free Zones (OPAZ), Integrated Gas Company (IGC) celebrated the signing of 17 new Spot Gas Market agreements with industrial customers across the cement, steel, and food sectors.

The milestone reflects the continued growth of Oman’s Spot Gas Market since its launch in 2024, expanding from a single agreement in 2024 to 13 agreements in 2025, and reaching 17 agreements during the first half of 2026 alone.

The Spot Gas Market plays a key role in enhancing industrial flexibility, maximizing the economic value of natural gas, improving supply and demand management, and supporting sustainability objectives through the increased use of cleaner and more efficient energy sources.
