  • Institutions & Energy Policy

    Qatar is a small country located on the north-eastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It is bordered by Saudi Arabia in the south and by the Persian Gulf and is separated from the island of Bahrain by a strait. Qatar has large natural gas reserves, which have transformed the country into a high-income economy. Qatar is a member of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).

  • Energy Companies

    Oil:

    Qatar Energy (QE, previously, Qatar Petroleum) is the national company in charge of the development of the oil and gas sector. In 2021, it has changed its name to bring forth its strategy to switch towards energy efficiency and technologies such as CCS. Upstream to downstream activities are wholly managed by QE and its subsidiaries.

  • Energy Supply

    Resources:

    Qatar has the world's third largest gas reserves (23 800 bcm at the end of 2022), just behind Russia and Iran. Its oil reserves, which amount to 3.4 Gt, have remained stable since 2012. The gas reserves are concentrated offshore in the North Dome Field, shared with Iran (where it is called South Pars).

  • Energy Prices

    Oil:

    Oil products were historically strongly subsidized by the government, resulting in very low end-user prices. After a subsidy cut on diesel prices in 2014 and another on gasoline prices in 2016, the government decided to reform fuel subsidies and allow prices to fluctuate on a monthly basis.

  • Energy Consumption

    The country's total energy consumption per capita is very high at around 18 toe, including 17 014 kWh of electricity (4th highest level for electricity in the world).

    Total energy consumption has been growing slowly since 2013, reaching 49 Mtoe in 2022 (+1%/year between 2013 and 2022). It grew very rapidly between 2000 and 2013 (11%/year).
