Country Analysis Brief
  • Qatar holds the world’s third largest natural gas reserves and is the single largest supplier of liquefied natural gas. Qatar is also a member of OPEC and exports considerable amounts of oil.
  • Qatar is the smallest oil producer in OPEC, though it remains an important supplier to world oil markets.
  • Qatar’s North Field holds more than 900 trillion cubic feet of natural gas reserves, the largest non-associated natural gas field in the world.
  • In 2006, Qatar surpassed Indonesia to become the largest natural gas exporter in the world.
  • In February 2007, ExxonMobil cancelled its planned 154,000-bbl/d Palm GTL project, which would have been the largest GTL facility in the world if completed.
  • Qatar is restructuring its power sector and encouraging foreign investment to expand electricity generating capacity.
