Abstract
The Sultanate of Oman brought a new oil and gas law into force in February 2011. This article is a brief survey of the contents of the new law, outlines the legal and regulatory framework that now governs Oman’s oil and gas sector and highlights the major differences with previous legislation. The main features of future concession agreements in Oman, relevant employment and environmental issues and the penalties that will now affect those who do not comply with the new law are also discussed.
