About ARA Petroleum
ARA Petroleum (ARA) was formed in 2014 and is part of the wider Zubair Corporation, one of the oldest and most respected business groups from Oman who have broad interests across many sectors throughout the Middle East, Africa and beyond.
ARA is now a dynamic member of the Exploration & Production industry in Oman. The company is a full cycle E&P company which explores, appraises, develops and produces oil & gas resources both in Oman and internationally.
ARA was created due to a need in Oman for a nimble & fast acting operator who could quickly develop marginal accumulations by applying progressive systems, process and technologies that reduced the time and cost normally required for such production.
ARA quickly obtained very positive recognition by the stakeholders in Oman such that after initial operations ARA were soon approved to also operate Block 44 and promptly afterwards were awarded Block 31.
