Oxy Oman plans drone logistics project for remote energy operations

Occidental Oman (Oxy Oman) unveiled a drone logistics initiative at its 2026 In-Country Value (ICV) event, designed to speed the delivery of essential supplies to remote operational sites. The project aims to strengthen field logistics and improve supply chain efficiency.

The initiative will use drones to transport spare parts, medical supplies and other essential materials to locations that are difficult to access. It is intended to improve last-mile delivery, reduce logistical constraints and support operational continuity and safety across remote energy operations.

Oxy Oman also reported that local content accounted for 41.5% of its total supply chain expenditure by the end of Q2 2026. The company has awarded 57 contracts linked to local content, supporting supplier development and domestic manufacturing opportunities. These ventures will expand local sourcing domestic supply chain for energy-sector operations.
