MUSCAT: A pilot well drilled into the Semail Ophiolite formation has produced significant hydrogen gas flows, further strengthening evidence that peridotite rocks—abundant in Oman—may represent a promising source of low-carbon, naturally occurring hydrogen.

Adding fresh momentum to efforts to tap Oman’s geologic hydrogen potential, Australian energy exploration company HyTerra Ltd has announced a partnership with ARA Natural Resources — a subsidiary of Omani upstream energy firm ARA Petroleum — to evaluate development opportunities for this emerging low-carbon resource in the Sultanate of Oman.
