Analysts expected prices in the small non-OPEC oil producer, which was hit by public unrest, to edge higher on robust global food and commodity prices as well as additional government spending to defuse social tensions.

The sultanate's economy is seen expanding by 4.1 percent this year, after 6.0 percent growth in 2010, helped by the government's increased infrastructure spending.
