Dukhan Oil Fields: The Beginning
Dukhan is a town on the
West Coast of Qatar, where
all its onshore oil is
produced.
Oil was first discovered in 1939 and exported in 1949.
235 000 barrels / day are now piped to Umm Said for refining and export.

Qatar Makes Concessions...
In the 1990s, the Emir of Qatar gave QP custodianship of the western area to explore and develop.
The Concession Area is an 80km x 50km strip along the West Coast.

Go East!
All Dukhan oil is pumped 100 kilometres east to Umm Said on the East Coast.
Oil is refined and exported in the industrial city in Umm Said.

Merry Christmas!
The top of an oil well is called a wellhead.
The structure showing above ground is called a “christmas tree” by operational staff.

Power and Gas Stripping
Commissioning of the Dukhan Power Plant in 1958 enabled new projects.
In 1974 a plant was commissioned to separate associated gas from the crude oil.

Under Pressure!
Ageing wells tend to lose pressure over time.
In 1989 a water injection plant was built to raise well pressures.

Need a Lift?
Surplus gas from North Field in the Gulf was used from 1989 to raise pressures in Dukhan.
The injection of gas into oil reservoirs to raise pressure was called the “Gas Lift Project”

Arab D Condensate Project
Oil is often mixed with condensates-lighter, saleable hydrocarbons including benzene and pentane.
The Arab D Project in 1998 sought to remove condensates for ready sale to the market.

Prior to the discovery of oil and gas, pearling and fishing were the primary industries of Qatar.

The Old Gives Way to the New...
Discovery of oil and gas in Qatar has had an enormous impact on the nation.
Increased wealth has challenged traditional lifestyles and outlooks as Qatar joins the world community.

Township Development
The Township of Dukhan is being rennovated with new schools, housing, hospitals and recreation centres.
Local residents will enjoy all the upgraded facilities by 2022.

Offshore Testing in the West
Currently, all drilling on the West Coast is onshore.
Analysis of seismic testing should tell us by 2013 whether oil and gas reserves exist offshore of Dukhan.

Flaring-Less is More
Flaring is a means of safely disposing of excess amounts of flammable gasses.
Qatar Petroleum is committed to a target of zero flaring as a long term environmental policy.
