The formation of ARA Petroleum in 2014 was the natural progression of this expertise. We were able to harness many of the various industry components and bring them together within ARA Petroleum.

Naturally the company is managed by an experienced, professional and committed team that give me great pride. This team has an enviable track record, gained from working throughout in the oil and gas industry both internationally and in Oman. Key to ARA’s success is their ability to explore and develop hydrocarbon resources quickly and efficiently for the benefit of all stakeholders.

This has resulted in quite extraordinary success both in Oman & Tanzania especially with our exploration & production performance. There is further, more detailed information within the operational sections of this website.

Naturally though, throughout our operations QHSSE is our most critical focus with the concept of No Harm to People, No Harm to The Environment being our fundamental doctrine. Evidence of our results in this area is contained within the news section of the website.

ARA Petroleum is securing a balanced portfolio of assets both within Oman and internationally; assets with value that are currently be unlocked. Please keep checking our website for news as we deliver on our objectives in the most cost effective and sustainable way.

ARA Petroleum is an exciting component of Oman’s fabric as well as other countries and we very much look forward to its continued growth and success over the coming years
