1111 Annual Report

MessageMessage fromfrom thethe ChairmanChairman

atar continued in 2011 to chart its path of enviable economic growth, unaffected by post 2008 financial crisis and the weaknesses in major developed economies This isQ reflected in Qatar’s major infrastructure and industrial development plans as envisioned by His Highness Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al-Thani, The Emir, which includes construction of mega projects in the transportation sector, development of new airport and seaport, rapid expansion of health and education sectors, besides plans for construction of new facilities for the FIFA World Cup in 2022.

These planned developments require additional power and desalinated water supplies. Hence it has substantially increased the projected demand for energy in the State over the next decade.

In line with its responsibility toward the national economy and to meet its customers’ needs and contractual obligations, Qatar Petroleum has responded by developing robust plans commensurate with these economic and political challenges to ensure the availability of clean fuel and hydrocarbon products required by the various economic sectors in the State of Qatar.

To meet the country’s future needs for the clean fuel for its power and water sectors and to provide feedstock to the local petrochemical and refining industries, Qatar Petroleum has commenced the construction of the strategic multi-faceted Barzan gas project. This project, which is expected to be fully operational by 2014, is an essential building block for Qatar›s future and will bring extensive benefits to many local industries.

In line with the development strategy of Qatar Petroleum, Ras Girtas Power Company inaugurated Qatar’s largest power plant at Ras Laffan Industrial City. This plant has a design capacity of 2730 MW of electric power and 63 million gallons of desalinated water daily. With this capacity addition, Qatar’s power and drinking water capacities have risen to 9000 MW and 325 million gallons a day respectively.

Another development that symbolizes the commitment and ability of Qatar Petroleum to live up to its responsibility towards national development is the plan to increase the production of refined products through constructing the second Laffan condensate refinery. The refinery will meet the projected demand for various petroleum products required to sustain the high growth rate of the Qatar’s economy. The second Laffan condensate refinery is at the engineering stage and is expected to be commissioned by 2016.

Qatar’s position as the world’s largest LNG produces was reinforced with the start-up of the Qatargas seventh and final mega train, which has a production capacity of 7.8 million

1122 Annual Report

tons per annum. Being a main player LNG producer, we are attentive to our customers’ needs by maintaining supply and responding to any unforeseen demand from current or prospective customers.

The industrial sector in Qatar celebrated another major milestone in 2011 with the inauguration of world’s largest gas-to-liquids (GTL) plant, Pearl GTL, at Ras Laffan Industrial City. A joint venture of Qatar Petroleum and Shell, Pearl GTL represents the world’s first realization of GTL technology applied on a world-scale basis with the capacity to produce 140,000 barrels per day of GTL products.

The industrial diversification of the Qatar economy is further underpinned by the inauguration of another addition to the petrochemical industry with the completion of the QAFCO-5 project, which is the world’s largest single-site producer of and urea.

Besides being recognized as one of the leading oil and gas companies in the world, Qatar Petroleum has proved its versatility by organizing world scale events. During 2011, Qatar Petroleum organized the 20th world petroleum congress, a major industry event held for the first time ever in the Middle East region. The five-day event was attended by a record number of participants, consisting of top government officials, the senior management of oil and gas companies and industry professionals from all over the world.

Similarly, Qatar Petroleum organized the first summit of the Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF), an international organization whose members account for up to 70% of the world’s proven gas reserves.

Through this journey of success and achievements, Qatar Petroleum has never compromised the environment, safety and health of our society. Continuous and close monitoring and control of emissions and pollution was one of the key factors of our success as a major contributor to our economic and social development.

Achieving those goals would have never been possible without the continuous and faithful efforts of our employees, partners and contractors, who are working hard to make Qatar Petroleum a responsible and truly international player in the oil and gas Industry.

Surely there are upcoming challenges, but we are quite confident and optimistic about the bright future of Qatar Petroleum as a key national organization that will continue to work for the prosperity of our nation

QAFAC’s mission is to be a world-class operation in the production of methanol and MTBE with a QAFAC was established to build, own and strong commitment to excellence of quality, cost operate facilities at Mesaieed Industrial City competitiveness, environmental protection and safety.

Production MTBE QAFAC’s MTBE plant produces around 1,830 metric tons per day by processing butane and methanol. The methanol is provided by the on-site methanol plant and QP provides the field butane.

MTBE is a colorless, flammable liquid with a characteristic odor and has an average octane number of 108. Therefore, it is used as a gasoline additive that provides clean-burning fuel to reduce the tailpipe pollution generated by motor vehicles. At the same time, it also eliminates the need for blending tetraethyl lead in gasoline.

METHANOL Methanol was first produced by wood distillation in the 1900s and commercial production started in the 1920s from coal. From the 1960s up to now, it has been manufactured from petroleum, naphtha and natural gas.

QAFAC’s methanol is produced from natural gas provided by QP, via steam reforming and methanol synthesis. The company’s methanol plant can produce 2,950 metric tons per day of US Federal Grade AA methanol.

Methyl alcohol, wood spirit, wood alcohol, carbinol, and Colombian spirit are other names for methanol.

Methanol is a clear, colorless, flammable liquid with a characteristic odor. It is a clean energy source, as well as a raw material for some of the everyday items that we use. Within the petrochemical industry, it is used as a raw material for the manufacturing of solvents, formaldehyde, methyl halide, methyl amine, acetic acid, ethyl alcohol, acetic anhydride, dimethyl ether (DME) and MTBE.
