The main objective for which the company has been set up is to finance, build, own and operate Permanent Accommodation for Contractors ("PACs") of Petroleum Development Oman ("PDO"), primarily at Fahud and Nimr, an innovative theme developed by PDO with a view to provide an even standard of living for PDO Contractors' personnel at it's interior locations as enjoyed by own staff. All services to the residents and visitors at the PACs are and have been provided by a founder shareholder from the beginning, as governed by a fixed long term agreement.

SHC was awarded a contract on BOO (Build, Own and Operate) basis for two PACs, one each at Fahud and Nimr. The contract is for an indefinite period. The PAC at Fahud consists of 384 rooms and that at Nimr 264 rooms built on landscaped plots of land in the desert and convertible to accommodate single, double or triple occupants per room, having all facilities expected of a comprehensive accommodation package, to mention a few, residential rooms, communal rooms, library and reading rooms, recreation center, gymnasium, stores, modern kitchens, dining halls, bakeries, laundries, medical clinic and laboratories, ambulance services, indoor and outdoor sports facilities.

The commercial operation of both PACs commenced on September 1, 2000 as per contract terms and continues complaint free, strictly adhering to Health, Safety and Environment ("HSE") and Hygiene policies.

After witnessing the progressive achievements during the short term of commercial operations, the project is seen lucrative and the investors could benefit from this type of investments in the long run.
