Edited by Giacomo Luciani · Tom Moerenhout The Political Economy of the Middle East Series Editor Ashraf Mishrif Centre for Middle East & Mediterranean Studies King’s College London London, UK This series explores the nature of Middle Eastern political regimes and their approaches to economic development. In light of the region’s dis- tinctive political, social and economic structures and the dramatic changes that took place in the wake of the Arab spring, this series puts forward a critical body of high-quality, research-based scholarship that reflects cur- rent political and economic transitions across the Middle East. It offers original research and new insights on the causes and consequences of the Arab uprisings; economic reforms and liberalization; political institutions and governance; regional and sub-regional integration arrangements; for- eign trade and investment; political economy of energy, water and food security; finance and Islamic finance; and the politics of welfare, labor mar- ket and human development. Other themes of interest include the role of the private sector in economic development, economic diversification, entrepreneurship and innovation; state-business relationships; and the capacity of regimes and public institutions to lead the development process.

An Efficient and Reliable Route for the Transportation Of
AN EFFICIENT AND RELIABLE ROUTE FOR THE TRANSPORTATION OF QATARI NATURAL GAS TO EUROPE A Dissertation Presented to The Graduate Faculty of The University of Akron In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Muneer Althaaly December, 2016 AN EFFICIENT AND RELIABLE ROUTE FOR THE TRANSPORTATION OF QATARI NATURAL GAS TO EUROPE Muneer Althaaly Dissertation Approved: Accepted: Advisor Department Chair Dr. Ping Yi Dr. Wieslaw K. Binienda Committee Member Interim Dean of the College Dr. Yilmaz Sozer Dr. Donald J. Visco Committee Member Executive Dean of the Graduate School Dr. Zhe Luo Dr. Chand Midha Committee Member Date Dr. Ernian Pan Committee Member Dr. Li Wang ii ABSTRACT Qatar is the world’s largest producer and exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG). Europe is dependent on natural gas as a main source its energy needs. This dis- sertation addresses the problem of the transportation of natural gas from Qatar to Euro- pean markets. Currently, LNG is transported from Qatar to Europe via LNG ocean- going vessels; the route used by these tankers passes through some of the world’s most dangerous and treacherous maritime areas. This dissertation proposes a new route, one which avoids these areas and which significantly reduces the transport time. A dual nat- ural gas pipeline – originating in Ras Laffan Industrial City in Qatar and terminating in Yanbu Industrial City in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia – will avoid the straits of Hormuz (entrance to the Arabian Gulf) and Bab-el-Mandeb (entrance to the Red Sea), areas known for geopolitical and piracy threats. -
