Oman
OMN · 2024 energy mix · renewables 1.1% · fossil fuels 98.9%
Threat reading 23 of 100, classified STABLE. 0 events recorded here in the last seven days, 0 in the last thirty.
That number is computed from live feeds and moves. The live monitor is where to read it as of right now.
Where its energy comes from
| Gas | 70.9% |
|---|---|
| Oil | 27.7% |
| Solar | 1.0% |
| Coal | 0.3% |
| Wind | 0.1% |
In 2024, renewables accounted for 1.1% and fossil fuels for 98.9%. On electricity traded with its neighbours, Oman is close to balanced on electricity trade.
Sources under one per cent of the mix are left out of the table rather than listed as a row of zeroes. Percentages are shares of a country's primary energy, not of the power it generates.
Recorded history
NOAA's hazard records hold 3 significant earthquakes in or just off Oman since 1497.
The strongest earthquake on record here was magnitude 7.0, on 1570 (Oman: Qalhat).
The most recent entry is the 25 April 1905 magnitude 5.8 earthquake (Iran: Bandar Abbas, Qeshm, Hengam).
| Date | What | Where | Toll |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1570 | magnitude 7.0 earthquake | Oman: Qalhat | damage over $25 million |
| 25 April 1905 | magnitude 5.8 earthquake | Iran: Bandar Abbas, Qeshm, Hengam | damage $1 to 5 million |
| 1497 | magnitude 5.5 earthquake | Oman: Qalhat | damage $1 to 5 million |
A dash means NOAA recorded no number, not that nobody died. Older entries are fewer because fewer were written down, not because less happened.

In the last 30 days
Our feeds placed no events in Oman in the last 30 days. That is a statement about the feeds we read, not proof that nothing happened.
What the threat reading is made of
| Conflict | 0 |
|---|---|
| Unrest | 0 |
| Security | 25 |
| Spillover from neighbours | 10 |
| Natural hazard | 0 |
| Resilience | 80 |
Each is 0 to 100. Resilience runs the other way to the rest: a high number is a country better able to absorb a shock, not a country in more trouble.
