IGC leading Oman's gas transformation: Advancing industry, empowering the nation
Muscat – As Oman accelerates its economic diversification under Vision 2040, the Integrated Gas Company (IGC) has emerged as a pivotal force in strengthening the country's energy backbone—unlocking industrial potential, driving national growth, and securing the future of Oman's gas value chain. Since its establishment in late 2022, IGC has transformed the structure and governance of Oman's gas sector, becoming the exclusive entity responsible for gas aggregation, supply contracts, and allocation across the Sultanate. Today, IGC oversees the management of over 44 billion cubic meters of natural gas annually balancing domestic industrial demand, power generation, and LNG export commitments with unmatched operational agility and transparency. A key milestone in this national journey is IGC's recent approval of a strategic pipeline connecting Fahud to Sohar, with an extension to Ibri. The 193-kilometre infrastructure is not just a pipeline; it is a symbol of IGC's future-ready vision—designed to enable industrial zones, empower new economic clusters, and reinforce Oman's standing as a regional energy hub. 'Gas is more than an energy source—it's the engine of Oman's industrial growth,' said Abdul Rahman Al Yahyaei, Chief Executive Officer of IGC. 'At IGC, our role goes beyond supply. We are orchestrating a national strategy that ensures every molecule of gas fuels long-term value for our industries, our people, and our economy.' IGC's operating model brings together supply-demand forecasting, transparent allocation systems, and advanced digital tools like Oman's first spot gas auction platform. These innovations are strengthening gas availability for over 134 end-users across power, petrochemicals, metals, and manufacturing sectors—ensuring no opportunity is missed in turning gas into national gain. Through strategic projects like the Sohar–Ibri pipeline and its rigorous stakeholder engagement, IGC is fostering confidence in Oman's industrial capabilities. The pipeline alone will increase the gas network length by 4.5% and serve two high-potential industrial hubs, catalyzing new investments and jobs across value chains. In parallel, IGC's role in supporting clean energy transitions is gaining momentum. From transitional gas supply to green steel projects like Vulcan in Duqm to enabling gas-based low-carbon growth, IGC is ensuring that Oman's energy mix evolves without compromising reliability or resilience. As the exclusive gas shipper and national aggregator, IGC not only administers Oman's gas but defines its future. With every pipeline built, every contract executed, and every allocation optimized, IGC fuels the ambitions of a nation on the rise. About IGC: The Integrated Gas Company SAOC (IGC), established in 2022, is Oman's national gas aggregator, tasked with overseeing gas purchase, sales, allocation, and supply infrastructure development.

Huawei named a leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for container management
Gartner released the Magic Quadrant for Container Management 2025, positioning Huawei in the Leaders quadrant. This recognition is attributed to Huawei Cloud's deep expertise and strategic investments in Cloud Native 2.0. Huawei Cloud has been at the forefront, launching several innovative container products like CCE Turbo, CCE Autopilot, Cloud Container Instance (CCI), and the distributed cloud-native service UCS. These products provide the optimal cloud-native infrastructure for managing large-scale, scalable containerized workloads across public clouds, distributed clouds, hybrid clouds, and edge environments. Huawei Cloud is an active open-source contributor and a leader in the cloud-native technology ecosystem. As a long-standing contributor to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), Huawei Cloud has participated in 82 CNCF projects, holds over 20 project maintainer seats, and is the only Chinese cloud provider holding a vice-chair position on the CNCF Technical Oversight Committee (TOC). Huawei Cloud has donated several projects to CNCF, including KubeEdge, Karmada, Volcano, and Kuasar, and contributed benchmark projects such as Kmesh, openGemini, and Sermant in 2024. Huawei Cloud offers the most comprehensive container product matrix in the industry, covering public cloud, distributed cloud, hybrid cloud, and edge scenarios. It has been extensively adopted in sectors like Internet, finance, manufacturing, transportation, electricity, and automotive, delivering pervasive cloud-native value. Furthermore, Huawei Cloud container services are actively deployed worldwide. The rapid growth of cloud-native compute power is widely acknowledged by global users and continually supports customers in achieving business success. Starzplay, an OTT platform in the Middle East and Central Asia, leveraged Huawei Cloud CCI to transition to a serverless architecture. This move enabled the platform to handle millions of access requests during the 2024 Cricket World Cup, while also reducing resource costs by 20%. Ninja Van, a leading logistics and express service provider in Singapore, has fully containerized its services using Huawei Cloud CCE. This cloud-native AI service architecture is both agile and efficient, ensuring zero service interruptions during peak hours and improving order processing efficiency by 40%. Chilquinta Energía, one of the three major power companies in Chile, has upgraded its big data platform to a cloud-native architecture using Huawei Cloud CCE Turbo.
