  Oman oil export revenue drops 47%

Oman: *6 hours, 20 minutes ago*


    Oman's oil export revenues for the first five months of the year
    fell more than 47% compared to 2008, despite a 7% rise in output,
    according to estimates by MEED. Official data of the Sultanate's
    Ministry of National Economy show that the country had exported
    119.25 million barrels of crude oil and condensate during the first
    five months of 2009, at an average price of $44.84 a barrel. The
    country's oil and condensate exports rose 6.97 million barrels from
    2008, but oil prices declined sharply from the $90.03 a barrel
    average seen in 2008.
