The formation and operation of SIUCI has resulted in various socio-economic benefits. The foremost being its contribution to strategic national objective of industrial diversification, by reducing the nation's dependence on oil revenues.
Employment generation for Omani nationals is another significant outcome of the project. Right from the beginning, SIUCI is committed to the development of technical skills of Omanis. Young, technically-qualified nationals were inducted as trainees, and after extensive class room, workshop and on-the-job training, they were absorbed in various departments such as the Operation & Maintenance [O&M] of the plant, quality control laboratory, technical services, materials management and other technical functions. Nationals have also been recruited in various non-technical functions.
