IN COUNTRY VALUE (ICV)

OSS fully supports the national In-Country Value (ICV) program and the Ministry of Oil and Gas (MOG) formation of an ICV Committee. The company has embedded ICV into its own business planning model, with particular reference to its major projects to contribute to the socioeconomic development of the Sultanate of Oman and raise opportunities. Moreover, OSS acknowledges that further efforts are needed to stimulate the development of ICV to actively support the country’s ambition to achieve its objectives.
