(MENAFN) MOL Oman Ltd Company unveiled plans to invest USD30 million over the next four to six years in early exploration programmes in the recently awarded block 66 concession in Dhofar region, Times of Oman reported.

MOL Oman, a unit of Hungarian oil giant MOL Group, will launch two exploratory drillings to test wells in the onshore concession area, which spans 4,898 sq km, in Al Wusta and Dhofar region.

The group’s executive vice-president Sandor Fasimon estimated oil reserve in the area to be around 200 million barrels.
