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 Discourse of a Conflict: Critical Discourse Analysis of the Ideological Representation of the Other in Online News
    Thomas More Kempen FACULTEIT LETTEREN SINT-ANDRIESSTRAAT 2 2000 ANTWERPEN BELGIE Masterproef aangeboden tot het verkrijgen van het diploma Master of Arts in het vertalen The Discourse of a Conflict: Critical Discourse Analysis of the Ideological Representation of the Other in Online News Aljazeera and Alarabiya on the 2017-18 GCC Crisis: a case study Door: Ruben Van Nimmen Promotor: Houssine Id-Youss ACADEMIEJAAR 2017-2018 Preface First of all, I wish to explain a number of references that have been made in the Literature Review. As the present research discusses a current development in the Gulf region, i.e. the 2017-18 GCC Crisis, references have been made to a number of news reports. However, as this study intends to investigate the role of ideology in the news reports by Aljazeera and Alarabiya, I decided to limit references to news reports by those two, yet selected the following networks: BBC, Le Monde, The Washington Post, CNN, The New York Times. References to these networks have been made in the Literature Review and to verify the factual information offered by the corpus, as will become clear in the Results chapter. In addition, I consulted reports by independent organization such as Freedom House and the Committee to Protect Journalists. References to Aljazeera or Alarabiya in the Literature Review have been made only to discuss superficial and rather factual information. Moreover, when referring to the blockading quartet in the 2017-18 GCC Crisis, I only used Saudi Arabia at times, for Saudi Arabia is regarded as one of the leading countries in the conflict and in the region.

  • Language Ideologies, Schooling and Islam in Qatar
    Language in the Mirror: Language Ideologies, Schooling and Islam in Qatar Rehenuma Asmi Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy under the executive committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Rehenuma Asmi All rights reserved ABSTRACT Language in the Mirror: Language Ideologies, Schooling and Islam Rehenuma Asmi My study explores language ideologies in the capital city of Doha, Qatar, where school reform movements are placing greater emphasis on English language acquisition. Through ethnography and a revised theory of language ideologies, I argue that as languages come in greater contact in multi-lingual spaces, mediation must occur between the new and old relationships that are emerging as a result of population growth, policy changes and cross-cultural interactions. I interrogate the development concept of the “knowledge economy” as it is used to justify old and new language ideologies regarding Arabic and English. As Qataris change their education systems in response to the economic development framework of the “knowledge economy,” they are promoting language ideologies that designate English as useful for the economy and “global” citizenship and Qatari Arabic and Standard Arabic as useful for religious and cultural reasons. I argue that Standard English, through its association with the “knowledge economy,” becomes “de-localized” and branded an “international” language. This ideology presents English as a modern language free of the society in which it is embedded, to circulate around the globe. In contrast, Standard Arabic is represented as stiff, archaic language of religious traditions and Qatari Arabic is presented as the language of oral culture and ethnonationalism.

  • Development of the Energy Sector in the State of Qatar 1995-2010.Pdf
    2 HIS HIGHNESS HIS HIGHNESS SHEIKH HAMAD BIN KHALIFA AL-THANI SHEIKH TAMIM BIN HAMAD AL-THANI Emir of the State of Qatar The Heir Apparent 3 “It is significant that the stages which appear to be modest, are part of a long term comprehensive plan comprising goals less modest and more ambitious. And it’s enough to compare 1995 with 2010 to know where Qatar was and where it is now. Our people will see how Qatar will be after implementing our plans for 2030”. His Highness Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al-Thani Emir of the State of Qatar 4 Introduction Since 1995, His Highness the Emir Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al-Thani took upon himself the immense responsibility to establish the modern State of Qatar. He carried out this enormous task with the help of Allah’s blessing on Qatar with its natural resources, mainly in natural gas and oil, and he rallied the country’s establishments and its patriotic citizens to achieve his vision. Thus, the energy and industry sector as well as its related industries became the field of challenge and ambition, and so Qatar became a pioneer among the main international leaders in this field. This book chronicles the rapid developments and major achievements in Qatar’s oil, natural gas and petrochemical industries from 1995 to 2010. This period had been marked with headlines of sustainable development and was replete with many challenges. The priorities during this period included creating the ideal mechanism in managing the available oil and gas resources, introducing appropriate strategic plans for developing the country’s energy industry, and optimizing investments in manufacturing and mining.

  • Exploration and Production
    2006-2009 Triennium Work Report October 2009 WORKING COMMITTEE 1: EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION Chair: Vladimir Yakushev Russia 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction SG 1.1 “Remaining conventional world gas resources and technological challenges for their development” report SG 1.2 “Difficult reservoirs and unconventional natural gas resources” report 2 INTRODUCTION Reliable natural gas supply becomes more and more important for world energy sector development. Especially this is visible in regions, where old and sophisticated gas infrastructure is a considerable part of regional industry and its stable work is necessary for successful economy development. In the same time such regions often are already poor by conventional gas reserves or have no more such reserves. And there is need for searching new sources of natural gas. This is challenge for exploration and production of natural gas requiring reviewing strategies of their development in near future. The most important questions are: how much gas still we can get from mature areas (and by what means), and how much gas we can get from difficult reservoirs and unconventional gas sources? From this point of view IGU Working Committee 1 (Exploration and Production of Natural Gas) has established for the triennium 2006-2009 two Study Groups: “Remaining conventional world gas resources and technological challenges for their development” and “Difficult reservoirs and unconventional natural gas resources”. The purposes for the first Group study were to make definition of such important term now using in gas industry like “mature area”, to show current situation with reserves and production in mature areas and forecast of future development, situation with modern technologies of produced gas monetization, Arctic gas prospects, special attention was paid to large Shtokman project.
