Abstract
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 Petroleum (QP) is the national company in charge of the development of the oil and gas sector. Upstream to downstream activities are wholly managed by QP and its subsidiaries.
Energy Supply
Oil:
Oil production increased up to 2013 (80 Mt) and has been decreasing by around 10% since then (71 Mt in 2019); the growth was mainly explained by the increase in NGL production (around 50% of the production).
Qatar exports about 60% of its oil production (crude and NGL), as well as oil products (22 Mt produced, 15 Mt exported in 2019).
Energy Prices
Electricity:
Significant subsidy cuts took place in 2017, leading to increases in electricity tariffs, especially for industry: prices were 30% higher for households in 2019 than in 2016 (US$3c/kWh) and 90% higher for industry compared to 2015 (US$3.6c/kWh).

Issues & Prospects
Electricity:
In 2013, the country announced a US$22bn plan for water and power projects between 2014 and 2022, but this amount was reduced to US$10bn in 2017. These projects will be implemented over the 2018-2022 period under the framework of the second National Strategic Development (2017-2022).
