How to mount android oem.img?

I am trying to see content of oem.img partiton, this partition is mostly found in Motorola's "moto" series. I got the ROM from stock firmware athene.

I tried $ file oem.img which returned:

oem.img: Android sparse image, version: 1.0, Total of 167969 4096-byte output blocks in 181 input chunks

Next I tried to decompress it with $ simg2img oem.img oem.raw and then I tried to mount it with
$ sudo mount -o loop oem.raw /mnt/oem but it raises the following error:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop5, missing codepage or helper program, or other error

So I tried mounting it as ext4 and f2fs using -t ext4 and -t f2fs option but both gave the same error. Are there any step that I am missing ?

There is a port of libsparse that someone made just for that purpose:

Tool to convert Android sparse images to raw images.

Since image tools are not part of Android SDK, this standalone port of AOSP libsparse aims to avoid complex building chains.
