    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.

Exports in both directions have increased almost every year since the UAE, a federation of seven emirates on the Arabian Gulf, was founded in 1971. The prosperity of UAE citizens is based in great part on the country’s vast oil and gas reserves, most of which lie in the largest emirate and seat of the capital, Abu Dhabi. The UAE has nearly ten percent of the world’s proven oil reserves and five percent of proven gas reserves. Other emirates include Dubai, Sharjah, Ras al Khaimah, Fujairah, Ajman, and Umm al Quwain.
