Oman Energy Association (OPAL) is a prominent business society in the Sultanate of Oman. It is a non-governmental, non-profit organization focusing on the Energy and Minerals sector. The organization was originally established in 1998, when like-minded companies came together with a shared vision to promote industry standards, address common challenges, and exchange best practices. Initially known as the Oil Industry Training Board (OITB), it later merged with the Oman Oil & Gas Contractor Forum to form the Oman Petroleum Alliance (OPAL). The industry’s business society was officially registered on October 27, 2001, under the regulations governing the formation of societies by the Ministry of Social Development.
