Oil companies which operate there include Shell Petroleum Development Company, Total Exploration & Production Nigeria and Nigerian Agip Oil Company. The city's infrastructure has been improved with the construction of dual carriageway roads, a power generation plant and banks.

Omoku enjoys relatively stable power supply. But lately, the oil companies that provide these services free of charge face a lot of challenges in providing this service. This may not be unconnected to the rapid growth and unchecked development on this social service. It is one of the few towns in Nigeria which are not connected to the national electricity grid and thus is not under the control of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria.
