Please give us a brief overview of your organization and your core offerings to the energy, oil and gas, renewables or sustainability ecosystem.

CC Energy Development (CCED) is an upstream energy company with a long-term commitment to Oman. CCED together with our partners, Mitsui E&P Middle East B.V. and Tethys Oil operate in Oman across Blocks 3 and 4 in central Eastern Oman, delivering disciplined subsurface evaluation and field development. We focus on responsible exploration, development and production. We deliver safe and reliable operations while continuously improving efficiency and environmental performance.

Our capabilities span subsurface evaluation and field development, supported by technology and strong partnerships. We aim to be a dependable contributor to Oman’s energy security while progressing practical sustainability actions across our assets.

What role does your organization currently play in supporting Oman’s energy transition, Renewable security or sustainability goals?

CCED supports Oman’s energy transition by balancing two priorities: energy security today and credible sustainability progress that can be executed at scale. In our operations, we focus on practical decarbonization actions that reduce emissions intensity, improve energy efficiency and strengthen environmental controls.

A key example is our Gas to Power program, which uses associated gas to generate electricity for field operations and reduce reliance on diesel generators. This supports lower emissions and improved efficiency while maintaining operational reliability and contributes to our broader flaring reduction roadmap.

We view sustainability as part of operational discipline: measurable actions and continuous improvement aligned with Oman Vision 2040.

What major trends or technologies do you believe will shape the energy and renewable sector in 2026 and beyond?

Three trends will shape the sector in 2026 and beyond. First, operational decarbonization will move from targets to delivery, driven by efficiency upgrades, stronger emissions management and cleaner power options for operations. Second, digital and AI enabled tools will accelerate performance, improving reliability, reducing downtime and strengthening safety and environmental monitoring. Third, greater system integration will bring conventional energy, renewables and flexible solutions closer together to improve resilience and affordability.

The most effective solutions will be those that are practical, measurable and scalable in real operating conditions.

How is your organization integrating digitalization, automation or AI into operations or services?

CCED is advancing digitalization and automation to improve reliability and safety across operations. We are enhancing real-time performance visibility and management to support faster decision-making and more proactive interventions.

A practical example is Mawrid, a digital platform that strengthens real-time operational coordination between field teams and technical functions. It improves situational awareness, supports early identification of anomalies and enables faster interventions and operational.

We have also established a Collaborative Working Environment (CWE) that brings together operations, subsurface, production and facilities teams around shared, trusted data. This helps accelerate decision cycles and ensures insights are translated into operational actions.

In subsurface work, we leverage high-quality data acquisition and modern processing to sharpen imaging and interpretation. This improves the speed and confidence of exploration decision-making. In production operations, we are adopting more automated approaches to equipment monitoring and optimization to reduce unplanned downtime and improve energy efficiency.

What steps is your organization taking toward sustainability, decarbonization and ESG compliance?

CCED approaches sustainability as part of how we operate every day, focused on practical actions that reduce impact while maintaining safe, reliable performance. Our priority is to lower emissions intensity through cleaner power options for our operations and targeted efficiency upgrades. We are also implementing a structured plan to reduce flaring and other operational emissions.

This is supported by initiatives such as the implementation of an advanced energy management solution with Advanced Modular Power Systems (AMPS) and United Engineering Services (UES). This innovative solution improved power quality and reliability for a remotely located electrical submersible pump. It also reduced generator run time by more than 50%, cutting diesel consumption and CO₂ emissions by 30%. We also strengthen asset integrity and maintenance discipline to prevent losses and protect the environment, supported by consistent monitoring and proactive intervention. In remote operating areas, we also work to improve water and waste management in ways that reduce logistics requirements and minimize footprint.

To ensure progress is sustained, ESG is embedded in our governance: clear accountability, contractor expectations and transparent performance tracking. This aligns with evolving stakeholder and regulatory requirements. We treat ESG as operational discipline, measured and continuously improved.

What motivated your organization to participate as a sponsor for both OPES & OSW 2026?

OPES and OSW are complementary platforms that bring together the full energy ecosystem, from technical excellence in oil and gas to the practical pathways of sustainability. As a Joint Sponsor, CCED is supporting the national dialogue on how Oman can continue to deliver secure energy while accelerating credible sustainability outcomes.

Our participation reflects our long-term commitment to Oman Vision 2040. We want to share what is working on the ground, learn from peers and build partnerships that can scale innovation. It is also an opportunity to engage directly with stakeholders and reinforce how performance and sustainability can advance together.

What strategic objectives are you aiming to achieve through your participation at the event?

Through OPES and OSW 2026, CCED’s objective is to share real progress from our operations, both in performance and sustainability. This highlights practical initiatives that reduce emissions and improve efficiency. We also want to strengthen partnerships across the ecosystem, including government entities, industry peers, technology providers and local businesses. Our goal is to accelerate implementation and scale solutions.

In addition, we see the events as a platform for constructive thought leadership, sharing lessons learned and supporting a solutions-oriented dialogue on energy transition. Finally, we aim to engage talent and the wider supply chain. This reinforces our commitment to capability building and local value creation. Ultimately, we want our participation to translate into collaboration, shared learning and clear next steps beyond the event.

If you could recommend one strategic priority for industry leaders in 2026, what would it be and why?

Make measurable operational decarbonization the top priority. Start with the highest impact, most achievable levers such as methane management, flaring reduction and cleaner power for operations.

This matters because it delivers immediate environmental benefits while strengthening reliability and cost performance. It also builds trust: stakeholders increasingly expect transparent progress backed by data, not broad statements. Leaders who combine disciplined execution with credible measurement will be best positioned to maintain competitiveness, attract investment and support national transition goals.

What message would you like to communicate to visitors attending OPES & OSW 2026?

CCED’s message is clear: reliability and responsibility go together. We are committed to safe operations, dependable energy supply and continuous improvement in environmental and efficiency performance.

We welcome visitors to connect with our teams and explore opportunities for collaboration whether in technology, operational efficiency or practical sustainability initiatives.
