Under the concession agreement, Shell will serve as the operator of Block 10 with a 53.45% stake. Marsa Liquefied Natural Gas and OQ will own 33.19% and 13.36% stakes, respectively.

Covering an area of around 1200km2, the Block 10 is planned to start production within the next two years.

The block, which is located in Saih Rawl in the Al Wusta Governate of Oman, is expected to have peak production capacity of 0.5 billion standard cubic feet of gas per day (bscf/d).

Currently, Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) is developing the infrastructure for the project, under initial phase. This includes the main pipeline to the Saih Rawl gas processing facility.

After the initial phase, the partners will drill and hook up wells to maintain the production at the block.
