Low salinity waterflooding (LSWF) has proven to improve oil recovery in carbonate formations through rock wettability alteration although the underlying mechanism remains elusive. In this work, coreflooding coupled with surface reactivity analysis approach was employed to investigate the interplay of wettability alteration mechanisms such as …





The exploitation and utilization of underground space in the coral reef limestone has become more and more important for the development and construction of ocean engineering in the world. Due to the particular composition and development environment of the reef limestone, its surrounding rock stability in underground …





We have exclusive tie up in place with the Limestone mine owners in Sultanate of Oman. Our first shipment was done in nearly 2016 to Bangladesh. We are in position to supply the Limestone material on FOB terms to various Asian markets. The limestome is used in the lime calcination plant, cement industry, glass industry, steel industry, paper ...



The study on the destruction of the limestone microstructure after high-temperature treatment has a significant value in the airtightness and safety of underground high-temperature geotechnical engineering. In order to truly simulate the influence of the underground high-temperature environment on limestone, taking seven groups of …







This paper presents a comprehensive study on the numerical and experimental simulation of smooth blasting in limestone. The calibration of the numerical model was initiated through Brazilian and uniaxial compression tests on limestone samples. Compressive strength and Brazilian tensile strength of limestone were 70 …





In an acidic environment, the mineral components in rock begin to break down. As a result, the microstructure will be damaged, and then the mechanical properties will deteriorate, which will eventually have a negative effect on engineering stability. In order to study acid damage's effect on this kind of rock, limestone samples were acidified for …

Driven by a commitment to harness Oman's mineral potential, GMG has grown rapidly to become one of Oman's largest mining companies. Discover our story and explore our journey on the full "About Us" page. …



Triaxial compression tests are conducted for the micritized framework reef limestone, which is sampled from a reef island in the South China Sea. The lateral strain response method (LSR) is applied to figure out the crack initiation stress of the reef limestone sample under different confining pressures. With a low porosity and a high …







Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed primarily of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) derived from the remains of ancient marine organisms such as coral, shells, and microorganisms. Over millions of years, these organic materials accumulate and undergo compaction and cementation to form limestone deposits.





Mines high-purity limestone for the steel and cement industries across the Middle East and Asia. Why GP Group invested GP Group started looking to build its limestone activities outside of Thailand and partnered with the Al Rawas family in Oman to secure a one billion tonne reserve of very high quality limestone (about 98% calcium carbonate).







The fastest growing export markets for Limestone of Oman between 2021 and 2022 were India ($8.33M), Bangladesh ($681k), and Kuwait ($84.7k). Imports In 2022, Oman imported $316k in Limestone, becoming the 64th largest importer of Limestone in the world. At the same year, Limestone was the 911th most imported product in Oman.





1. Introduction. Limestone is one of the most common sedimentary rocks in tunnels, gas reservoirs, mining and other projects. Its mechanical behavior and permeability evolution are of great significance to maintain the stability of related rock engineering [1], [2], [3].For example, making a clear understanding of the mechanical behavior and …



Global Mining Company LLC has a concession area located in the southern part of the Sultanate of Oman, in Manji, which is three hundred kilometers north-east of Salalah. The concession area is approximately eight (8 sq. kilometer) square kilometer with reserves totaling to about five billion cubic meters of limestone. Global Mining Company LLC has





Oman exotic limestone blocks of Late Triassic age are found in all of the KES mountains except Jabal Hamra, and therefore in all of the thrust slices apart from slice 8. The largest Upper Triassic exotic limestones are closely associated with basaltic volcanics and breccias, while the smaller blocks are found as olistostromes within deep …





Guide to Analyzing Limestone Samples. The Canstrat guide to analyzing sandstone samples is a repeatable process that will help insure the geologist does not miss any important characteristics of the rock. Users of this guide should note this is not a replacement for hands on training with an experienced geologist in drill cutting sample …

In Oman, sedimentary rock formations of the Cenozoic age (Palaeogene and Neogene) occupy much of the ground onto which foundations are laid. These formations can be of marine or terrestrial origin and give rise to a variety of physical and geomechanical properties. Whilst similar rock formations exist elsewhere in the Arabian …





Salt around salt lakes and limestone from sea bottoms are examples of these chemical sedimentary rocks. Plants and animals are sometimes buried and preserved in the finer grained sedimentary rocks, such as shale or limestone. Sedimentary rocks are derived from pre‑existing rocks by weathering and erosion.
