Qatar Petroleum to diversify in oil and petrochemicals

Since the moratorium decided by Qatar in 2005 to freeze all new offshore projects out of its giant North Dome project, Qatar Petroleum concentrated to complete on going projects and to stabilize the reservoir from the consequences of the multiplication of the production wells.

This moratorium was supposed to be lifted in 2014, but the development of the shale gas in USA, may put a question mark on this date so that no further gas field development may be considered in the near future.

Oxy-Qatar_ISND_MapStill today, Qatar is the world largest exporter of LNG as it holds the third largest conventional reserves of natural gas.

What used to be seen as a strength may turn as a weakness at any time of the globalization of the gas market leading Qatar to diversify its revenues out of the natural gas and the export of liquefied natural gas (LNG) by its monetization in the petrochemical hydrocarbon products.

In that perspective Qatar creates in January 2013 a brand new company called Muntajat to support its investments in the petrochemical sector.

Currently Qatar has planned more than $13 billion capital expenditure in large petrochemical complexes.

In parallel, Qatar is also moving ahead to revive its crude oil production from maturing fields in introducing the enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques.

In that respect, Qatar Petroleum is working on investing more than $30 billion capital expenditure in different projects including the expansion of the Bul Hanine and Idd el-Shargi crude oil fields.
