Qatar Petroleum (QP), formerly Qatar General Petroleum Corporation, is a state-owned corporation responsible for all phases of the oil and gas industry in Qatar. Its operations include exploration, drilling and production, transport, storage, marketing and sale of crude oil, natural gas liquids, liquefied natural gas, gas-to-liquids, refined products, petrochemicals and fertilizers, and providing helicopter and other services.

QP’s operating philosophy is focused on full-chain integration, where it seeks to achieve significant involvement in all segments of the oil and gas chain. QP is the major source of revenue for the State of Qatar and is the primary producer of energy products. It plays a major role in developing and training nationals so that their contribution to the national oil corporation continues to grow.

With approximately 80 billion dollars worth of investments in energy projects during the next five years, Qatar is planning to further expand and diversify the production capacity of gas, oil, and petrochemicals. Most of the projects under construction are world-class and in some cases bigger than anything yet built in the world.

Today, Qatar is the largest producer of LNG in the world. The North Gas Field is considered to be the largest single

non-associated gas reservoir in the world with total proven reserves of 900 trillion standard cubic feet (TSCF).

By the end of 2011 Qatar will be reaching all the important markets around the globe with an export capacity of 77 million tons per annum delivering gas at competitive prices to the most distant markets in the USA, Asia and

Europe. By then, it is expected that the share of Qatar in the world’s LNG trade will be around 30%.

QATAr peTroLeuMCommitted to Excellence

MIC The City of Opportunities

In the oil sector, a multi-billion-dollar development will increase our oil production to 1.1 million barrels per day in 2011.

When drilling began at the Dukhan oil fields in 1947 and the reservoir yielded its first output, field operators were faced with a major issue, which was to find a port to dispatch the first shipment of crude oil. Because the waters on the west coast of Qatar weren’t deep enough for crude carriers, a deep natural harbour with a protective reef was identified on the eastern coast of Qatar, at Mesaieed. The first crude oil production was sent eastward by pipeline and shipped from Mesaieed on December 31, 1949. Shortly after, a tank farm and an oil export terminal were built. In 1960, the Qatar General Petroleum Corporation Refinery (then known as NODCO - National Oil Distribution Company) was built and Mesaieed’s future as a major regional energy hub was cast. As the years passed, Mesaieed continued to grow to become a major regional industrial city which now bears the true trademarks of maturity and success.

Today, about 60 percent of Qatar’s economy flows through Mesaieed. What began as an idea or suggestion in 1949 has now become the centre for Qatar’s downstream activities and a multi-national, modern and environmentally friendly place to invest, work, and live. Mesaieed is presently home to an array of industrial giants, petrochemical leaders and small and mid-sized downstream entities. Mesaieed has continued to achieve strong growth, especially in attracting medium-sized and support industries in addition to joint ventures projects initiated by the existing industries. Today, in addition to the oil receiving terminal and export facilities, the industrial area accommodates an oil refinery, a fertilizer complex, a number of petrochemical complexes, a natural gas liquid plant, large metallurgical industries (steel and aluminium) and many other downstream activities. A separate light industries zone exists for light and support industries, which continues to be expanded and upgraded to 8


attract new investment.

Until 1996, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Agriculture managed the Mesaieed area, which was then taken over in 1997 by Qatar Petroleum which established the Mesaieed Industrial City (MIC) Directorate to manage the 117 Square Km. area and act as a single point entity to provide “one-stop” services to existing and prospective investors, businesses and industries in Mesaieed. MIC’s mandate is to ensure systematic planning and development of Mesaieed and to oversee the development and staged implementation of the Mesaieed Master Plan. Its major role is to provide port, marine and infrastructure facilities to all businesses to the extent that such facilities are utilized to their maximum capacity. In addition, MIC is responsible for developing and upgrading the heavy, medium, general, and light industries to meet the needs of the larger businesses through strategic development planning and land allocation while recognizing that fast-tracked procedures are crucial to achieve success.

MIC is also responsible for promoting Mesaieed both locally and internationally as an excellent investment location where investors can operate in an efficient, profitable, safe and healthy environment. MIC works as an integrated team which leads the investor from the initial query exchange stage, to the construction and commissioning of their plant while bringing them in contact with the relevant government agencies. This ‘one stop shop concept’ speeds up the process of acquiring the required governmental regulatory approvals and permits. 9

The Mesaieed town currently accommodates 35,000 persons and the Master Plan projects a population over 150,000 inhabitants within the 2030 plan horizon. This growth will be the result of the projected expansion in industrial activities in MIC. The strategy is to carry on with the expansion and modernization of the town, including residential areas, and the enhancement of healthcare, educational, commercial, park and recreational facilities.

A new shopping complex, schools, and labour accommodation facilities have been built, and recreation facilities are currently being added and expanded. The construction of the new QP central administration complex accommodates all QP non-operational staff in Mesaieed was occupied in 2011. Extensive road network, utilities, lighting and beautification with landscaping & irrigation will be completed by 2012, making Mesaieed a truly modern industrial city.

Key plans for the Mesaieed town involve the recently completed Phase 1 Housing project which consists of more than 1500 housing units, including schools & recreation facilities and approval for Phase 2, which consists of an additional 5200 housing units along with additional schools, recreation clubs and commercial facilities.

MIC is also home to Mesaieed Port, which has grown steadily from a solely crude loading terminal to a busy 30 berth multi-product port. MIC’s Port Department is the single port authority for Mesaieed Port and is responsible for all general and bulk cargo handling (stevedoring) on the port’s commercial berths. It is also the agent for all hydrocarbon vessels bound for Mesaieed to load crude oil, butane, propane, ethylene refined products and other downstream hydrocarbon products as well as metallurgical products (steel and aluminium), fertilizer, bulk raw building materials and container shipping.

Since Mesaieed Port is accessed via a 36 mile channel, it is responsible for all deep draft vessels movement ensuring safe and efficient navigation of vessels through a very busy port, handling all types and sizes of vessels. It also provides services such as crew changes, quarantine, medical and police clearances, stores and provisions, immigration and transit.

The Port of Mesaieed is the gateway for the export and import of raw materials and petrochemical products to support the industrial growth in MIC and southern Qatar. Due to its strategic importance, Mesaieed port is planned to expand progressively due to the increasing vessel traffic, which is estimated to double over the next 10 years and improve its overall capacity in receiving and handling larger ships and tonnage of various industrial commodities to efficiently respond to current and future industrial requirements.

Mesaieed Industrial City is home to a well-diversified hydrocarbon industry which includes crude oil refining, gas processing, primary and downstream chemicals and petrochemicals production, and metallurgical production. As Qatar Petroleum continues to embark on a variety of joint venture initiatives with local and international investors in the oil and gas sector, MIC’s hydrocarbon industry growth is expected to continue its momentum with the expansion of existing industries as well as the introduction of more value-added major and downstream projects that complement the development of an integrated hydrocarbon production chain, fulfilling the “eco-industrial park” concept of efficiency and maximization of resources and product/value chains. Therefore, major initiatives and projects are planned for phased implementation to accommodate the diverse and increasing demands of the industries and investors.

The development of the general and light industries is to facilitate the establishment of small and medium enterprises and provide them with the necessary infrastructure. Over the last five years, MIC Management has placed great emphasis on the support and development of small and medium size industrial projects, which represent a major phase of industrial development and expansion in Mesaieed Industrial City. One area which is under development is dedicated to Construction Materials industries in support of the national mandate to relocate these industries from the Doha Industrial area. Included is a 14 square kilometre General Industries area which covers one square kilometre for the development of a Support (Construction) Industries zone. This zone is dedicated to the construction materials industry and will house industries dealing with ready-mix, pre-cast concrete, tiles and other building material products. The area, with more than 60 projects commissioned so far, also supports the government’s strategic plans to develop and diversify the industrial sector through the establishment of small and medium size industrial projects primarily in the metallurgical, engineering and plastics/chemicals sector. Industries within these areas are ‘downstream’ from the existing heavy industries and are intended to support existing and future heavy industrial plants. 13
