Oman: Oil exports continue despite riots

Shipments of refined crude from Oman's port of Sohar are continuing, a port spokeswoman said on Monday. This comment came after widespread anti-government rallies blocked roads leading to the key industrial area in the Sultanate.

Six people died in the riots. 

The port ships 160,000 barrels per day of a range of products from the Sohar refinery, Reuters said. 

Oman is a non-OPEC member, pumping some 860,000 bpd of crude, which is exported through its port of Mina al-Fahal, where Oman also has a smaller refinery with a capacity of around 85,000 bpd.
