  • 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.
