The main drive of this study is to understand the work from home (WFH) decision-making culture as well as the financial performance of Oman-based oil and gas companies. Due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, data collected from the sector is not usually stored or distributed where it can be further used by the people of the extraction and production division. It is also necessary for the adverse situation to be recorded at the same time. Complicated production problems in the system impact the production, and thus various issues come up while analyzing data to determine historical patterns. A qualitative and quantitative approach to data collection will be followed for this study. Interviews, surveys, historical data, journals, books, and articles will be used for data collection. The study will also have thematic analysis. The healthiness of the work-from-home culture, decision-making, and financial performance of Oman's oil and gas sector will be illustrated by the expected results. It has also been observed that tech inclusion has allowed the oil and natural gas industry to explore various IT-enabled techniques.
