Oman Paradis!!

Its a known fact that Oman is one of the Gulf countries which produces oil in huge amount every year. It is also known that during the month of July, the temperature in most of the Gulf areas goes upto 40deg. Well, during this time, my boss got a brilliant idea "Why not send this girl to our customer in Oman?" (Well, an idea flashed in a man who landed here from one of the coldest countries, Canada and whose body cannot take temperature above 25deg..What an idea sirjeee!!!)

OK. And so off to Oman..!!!

The location of this company is in a place called Ibri. It is around 200-300kms away from Al Ain border. (Guess what?? I had to travel for more than 400kms in a pick-up truck whose seats are not stretchable!!)

Basically, this is Oil & Gas company. It has got its fields all around Oman. It is a Government company which works in alliance with Taiwan Government. The supplies are from Taiwan and the profits are shared between Oman and Taiwan Govt. (Something like that!!)

The plant where we went mainly produces LPG. Scientific process goes like this, when the natural crude oil and gas is pumped out, they undergo a lot of gas treatment processes. One of them is producing LPG where high octane liquids are retained and low weight gases are flared out. Compressors form one of the main units used in these industries, mainly to gather and transport oil and gas into various stations. Since we are the main suppliers of the components used in the compressors, we grabbed this opportunity to check these compressors.

The best part of the trip was that the temperature outside had reached around 60deg!!! What else can I ask for??Heaven!!! Well, that was not the best part really. What I enjoyed the most was, I could see so many beam pumps, drilling units located all over, with huge pipelines transporting the oil. Huge compressors loading enormous amount of gas. Huge tanks collecting the liquid, trucks that are filled with these liquids to be transported to various stations.

Inspite of the fact that the place was boiling hot where no residential area could be seen for around 100kms surrounding the field, no internet access, I must say I had a wonderful time learning so many things!

What else can I ask for??
