During the first three months of 2022, Oman’s LNG export was around 3 million, however, the figure declined a bit in the second quarter as it exported about 2.9 million tons.
The oil prices continued to rise throughout June trading, reaching $112.9 per barrel as a consequence of global economic conditions and political escalations around the world, the ministry added.
