Specialized Sectors

Oil, Gas and Energy

Sultanate of Oman holds a prominent position in the oil and gas sector regionally. This sector is among the most highly regulated and contractually complex, whether in relation to government contracts (PSAs, EPCs) or dealings with field operators, suppliers, and technical service providers. Additionally, renewable energy projects are introducing a new legal landscape that requires close alignment with modern regulatory frameworks.

At B&Co, we possess a deep understanding of the legislative and regulatory environment governing the energy sector. Our legal team has previously represented parties across the value chain—from operating companies to subcontractors—as well as provided legal services for renewable energy projects and related infrastructure.
