USING NATURE’S POWER
COMPANY OVERVIEW
Rima Water Treatment Plant is a joint venture of local and global companies with a deep knowledge of the oil & gas sector. We provide groundbreaking, first-of-its-kind technologies for wastewater management, working in harmony with Oman’s natural habitats and wildlife.
RWTP uses environmentally sound technologies to treat oily produced water, creating a green oasis in the middle of the desert, via an international contracting strategy called design-build-own-operate-maintain (DBOOM). This innovative solution not only treats wastewater effectively, but also creates a new habitat for local wildlife. Demonstrating our commitment to fighting climate change, the project has the capacity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an impressive 48,000 tonnes of CO2 per year.

PROJECT OVERVIEW
Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) is the leading exploration and oil production company in the Sultanate of Oman. The company is owned by the Government of Oman and private shareholders such as Shell and Total Energies. Our mission is to dispose of wastewater produced by PDO in the oil field of Rima in a safe and sustainable manner at low operating costs. RWTP was contracted with a design-build-own-operate-maintain (DBOOM) model to treat the excess produced water using wetland technology in June 2020. The project commenced less than a month later and was completed by July 2022, after which the operations and management (O&M) period began. Using cutting-edge wetland technology, RWTP has a treatment capacity of 40,000 m3/d +/- 15% and will be in operation for 20 years.
