DUBAI, Sept 4 (Reuters) - Oman's OQ Gas Networks (OQGN), the pipelines business of state oil giant OQ, said on Monday it plans to float up to 49% of its shares and list on the Muscat bourse.

The offering will provide investors with access to the growth of the company that holds a natural monopoly over essential gas transportation in the country, the company said in a statement.

BofA Securities, Bank Muscat and EFG Hermes are acting as joint global coordinators.
