Project thesis
A phased petroleum storage and handling platform integrating large-scale tankage, product-transfer systems, blending capability and a dedicated marine terminal.
The target masterplan covers up to 200 tanks, with product-specific volumetric sizing developed through density, handling, engineering and safety criteria. The programme integrates port configuration, permits, customer requirements and phased delivery.

01Terminal configuration+
A phased storage and marine-handling system planned around up to 200 tanks, with final tank volumes determined by product, density and customer requirements.
- Segregated tank farms for compatible product classes, supported by bunding, drainage and controlled transfer corridors.
- Marine receipt and export through dedicated loading arms, metering, pipelines and berth operating procedures.
- Blending, recirculation, heating or vapour-management capabilities selected for the final product envelope.
- Truck or pipeline connections, custody transfer and inventory systems designed for multi-customer terminal operations.
02Technical & safety basis+
Engineering prioritises containment integrity, product segregation, marine reliability and major-accident prevention.
- Tank-type, metallurgy, foundations, corrosion protection and inspection philosophy matched to stored products and coastal conditions.
- Hydraulic modelling of receipt, transfer and loading rates, including pumps, manifolds, surge control and line-clearance strategy.
- Firewater, foam, gas detection, emergency shutdown, spill response and hazardous-area systems developed through formal safety studies.
- Port metocean, navigation, mooring, berth availability and marine-operability criteria integrated with landside storage capacity.
03Commercial & economic logic+
The platform is designed around contracted storage, throughput services and strategic access to Duqm's industrial and maritime corridor.
- Revenue structures assessed across capacity reservation, throughput, handling, blending and ancillary terminal services.
- Customer and product diversification balanced against segregation requirements, utilisation and operating complexity.
- Phase sequencing linked to anchor commitments so tankage and marine infrastructure expand with demand.
- Economic sensitivities include occupancy, throughput, berth use, construction phasing, financing cost and product-specific operating requirements.
04Development & delivery programme+
An interface-led programme aligns terminal customers, port infrastructure, permits, engineering and phased capital deployment.
- Land and concession arrangements, port-interface definition, environmental studies and authority approvals.
- Customer memoranda, product nominations, capacity commitments and terminal-services contracting.
- Masterplanning, geotechnical work, FEED, marine engineering, construction packaging and commissioning strategy.
- Operator model, control-room systems, maintenance capability, emergency preparedness and financing readiness.
