The establishment of ARA Petroleum in 2014 marked a natural progression of this expertise, bringing together key capabilities under one roof.

Today, the company is led by an experienced, professional, and deeply committed team — one that fills me with great pride. Our people bring a strong track record built across the oil and gas industry, both internationally and within Oman. The key to ARA’s success lies in our ability to explore and develop hydrocarbon resources efficiently and responsibly, creating value for all our stakeholders.

This approach has delivered strong results across our exploration and production activities in Oman and Tanzania. Further details can be found in the operational sections of this website.

Across all our operations, QHSSE remains our highest priority. Our guiding principle, “No Harm to People, No Harm to the Environment”, is embedded in everything we do. Our performance in this area is reflected in the updates posted in our website’s news section.

ARA Petroleum continues to build a balanced portfolio of high-quality assets, both within Oman and internationally — assets that are being actively developed and unlocked. We invite you to follow our journey through our website as we continue to deliver on our objectives cost-effectively and sustainably.

ARA Petroleum is proud to be part of Oman’s national fabric, as well as that of the countries in which we operate. We look forward to the company’s continued growth and success in the years ahead.
