THE IMPACT OF ONLINE WORK ON THE OPERATING COSTS OF PETROLEUM DEVELOPMENT OMAN

Abstract

This study is about the effect of online work on operational costs in Petroleum Development (PDO) Oman, which is the leading company in the field of oil and gas exploration and production in the Sultanate of Oman. It is the company responsible for producing the largest proportion of oil and natural gas in the country. This research seeks to explore the benefits and problems facing the development of Petroleum Oman from the remote work policy in affecting operational costs, as remote work is a reality that imposes itself after the current crisis has passed, which will ultimately be reflected in reducing the company's financial burdens. This research will use scientific methods, both qualitative and quantitative, through interviews and distribution of survey questionnaire to selected employees of PDO, to obtain results and make recommendations for improvements of remote work in the company; and improving financial performance through reduced operational costs.
