Overview

(give a short overview of the country's energy situation, status quo including energy supply and consumption. If this is too much information, split into sub headings)



Energy Supply

In 2011, Oman has produced a total amount of 73,508 ktoe of energy, which is about 3,078 PJ or 854,898 GWh. Its only energy sources are crude oil (65%) and gas (35%). Oman has no other energy sources, such as coal, nuclear power, heat or renewable energy. The following table provides an overview of Oman's energy production in 2011.

Energy Supply

The total primary energy supply in Oman which is outlined in table 2 was 25,276 ktoe in 2011 which is consistent with 1,058 PJ or 293,959 GWh. Unlike the national energy production, gas accounts for the largest amount of primary energy supply in Oman (18,040 ktoe), followed by crude oil (9,927 ktoe). Oman is a fossil fuel exporting country. In 2011, the country was exporting 39,481 ktoe of crude oil, 2,152 ktoe of oil products and 9,797 ktoe of natural gas.

Energy Consumption

Algeria's total final consumption (TFC) has steadily been increased in recent years. While in 2010 the energy consumption added up to around 31.600 ktoe units (367,508 GWh), energy consumption increased in 2011 by 7,4% and accounted for 34,000 ktoe units (395,420 GWh). Taking a closer look to various sectors, the sector "Residential" consumes the most energy, namly 40.3%, follwed by the transport secor (36.5%) and the Industriy 23.2. The excect figures are outlined in the table below.[1]
