MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN

We are proud to say that, despite the instability in the global economy since 2008, Qatar Petroleum (QP) remains focused on achieving long-term strategic targets and objectives.  We have done so, confident in the knowledge that the success of investments in the energy industry is measured over decades, not months, and that the global economy will rebound, restoring the underlying fundamentals upon which QP’s investment strategies are based.

QP’s achievements in the LNG industry illustrate the desire and commitment of His Highness the Emir of Qatar to these principles. Under his wise leadership, QP has become a global leader in the LNG industry and now plays an essential role in supplying gas to regional markets as well as those in North America, Asia and Europe. 

QP is also actively expanding its international investment portfolio through strategic investments in energy and petrochemical projects around the globe. This is being managed through our international division - Qatar Petroleum International (QPI).

At a national level, QP continues to work towards the goals of the Qatar National Vision 2030, which identifies key economic outcomes resulting from the responsible exploitation of the nation’s oil and gas resources. These include establishing a balance between reserves and production, the generation of advanced technological innovations and the provision of clean energy for Qatar and for the world.

QP embraces the four pillars of development stipulated in the Qatar National Vision 2030 - namely, human development, social development, economic development and environmental development. 

Our success in achieving our goals owes much to our highly skilled and tremendously committed workforce. I am confident that with people such as these the future for QP looks very bright.

Abdullah Bin Hamad Al-Attiyah 
Chairman & Managing Director, Qatar Petroleum
