Shell has selected Wood to deliver pre-FEED services for Oman’s innovative Blue Horizons project.

The project will produce low-carbon blue H₂ and ammonia for local and international markets and will capture and store CO₂ from production. The pioneering development is expected to be the first large-scale project of its kind in Oman.

Wood will use its specialist CO₂ and blue H₂ expertise to design the integrated blue H₂ and ammonia production facility, marine facilities including ammonia storage, 200-kilometer pipeline and CO₂ injection facility.

Giuseppe Zuccaro, President of Process & Chemicals at Wood, said, “The innovative Blue Horizons project will serve as a catalyst to Oman’s adoption of zero-carbon fuels. We are delighted to work with Shell to deliver this pre-FEED package, combining our in-country capability and global subject matter expertise to drive progress on this exciting initiative.”

Wood will leverage global teams across the United Kingdom, Ireland, Italy, India and Oman to deliver this contract, which is expected to be completed in 2025.
