Sorry Oscar, disqualified. Not to mention that entire area is one giant oilwell.


Qatar's oil is produced from both onshore and offshore fields.

ONSHORE
The largest reserves of crude oil are to be found onshore, at the Dukhan field. 49% of Qatar's crude oil currently comes from this source, which is operated solely by QP. Production began here in 1949 and the present processing facilities - separation of crude oil, gas and water - can handle up to 280,000 b/d of oil, 310 MBPD of gross liquid and 260 million standard cubic feet (MMSCFD) per day of gas. Dukhan reserves are estimated at about 2.2 billion barrels.

Dukhan crude, along with separated dry gas and raw condensate/NGLs is pumped via pipeline to Messai'eed. The crude oil is exported from there, while the gas is further processed to produce stabilised condensate and NGLs (for example propane, butane etc.).

Dukhan also produces non-associated gas from its Khuff reservoir, which is used as both feedstock and fuel.

QP is making every effort to maximise production at Dukhan, both through new discoveries of oil and gas, and through enhanced recovery techniques of existing supplies. Investment in new processing plants will augment both associated and non-associated gas production, which, in turn will assist in oil recovery procedures. Dukhan crude oil has an API of 41 degrees.

OFFSHORE
Oil was first produced offshore in 1964. Most of Qatar's offshore oil (which, prior to quota impositions achieved production levels of around 291,000 b/d) is located to the East of the Peninsula, although Western waters are in the process of being explored. The area is divided into various fields, some of which are wholly operated by QP, while others are operated by a consortium of QP and foreign partners, via Production Sharing Agreements.
