  • How will Qatar's oil production increase in 2023?
  • The Al-Shaheen field, Qatar’s largest crude oil field, increased production by around 60,000 b/d from 2020 to 2022 through a major redevelopment effort, and a second project phase is underway.14 We expect that a redevelopment project at the Bul Hanine field will add 50,000 b/d in 2023.15 Noncrude liquids production is increasing.
  • How does Qatar's energy system work?
  • The Qatari energy system is designed around the production, transformation, and use of hydrocarbons, both oil and gas. The electricity and water sectors are tied to this system due to the presence of large gas-fired power stations that also produce desalinated water. These are generally called ‘integrated water and power plants’ (IWPPs).
  • Why is Qatar investing in renewables?
  • QE has been exploring research studies in carbon capture and the global supply chain. It also began investing in renewables by launching Qatar’s first solar power plant, in an effort to diversify Qatar’s energy portfolio. Detailed information about this framework is available in QE’s sustainability report (hyperlink included).
  • How much oil does Qatar produce a year?
  • We have constrained the annual production of oil to its natural production limit in Qatar (about 40,000 ktoe/year for the last few years). A moratorium on additional natural gas production has been recently lifted to allow a total production of approximately 160,000 ktoe/year within the next 5 years.
  • How much oil does Qatar use in 2022?
  • Qatar’s oil consumption reached about 292,000 b/d in 2022, up from about 260,000 b/d in 2020. Qatar hosted the FIFA World Cup 2022, which increased global travel to and economic activity in the country.18 Qatar uses noncrude liquids, mostly ethane, as fuel at petrochemical plants.
  • Will Qatar be the world's largest LNG producer by 2030?
  • In addition to the above-mentioned energy efficiency and sustainability plans, and in line with Qatar’s ambitious plan to be the world’s LNG producer by 2030, Qatar reaffirmed its commitment to developing the North Field LNG Expansion, which will increase LNG production in two phases.
