Yibal Khuff Project

UK-based Petrofac was selected to oversee the development of the giant Yibal Khuff project as part of an engineering, procurement and construction management contract in 2015. Petrofac said at the time that the contract value was around $900 million. ^[2]

The Yibal Khuff Project (YKP) began operations in September 2021 employing 1,200 Omanis and 200 foreign nationals. At full capacity, the project is expected to produce five million cubic meters of gas per day and approximately 20,000 barrels of crude oil daily.^[3]
