In response to the recent unfortunate developments in the region, Qatar Petroleum (QP) and its subsidiaries have immediately mobilized all available resources and activated its business continuity plans to mitigate the impact of any action that could hamper its efforts to ensure safe and reliable energy supplies to all its customers across the globe.

 

Qatar Petroleum, and its subsidiaries, wishes to affirm that it is conducting business as usual throughout all its upstream, midstream and downstream businesses and operations, and in all activities across all of QP’s world-class facilities.

 

We are closely monitoring and assessing all developments, and are prepared to take the necessary decisions and measures, should the need arise, to ensure that we always honor our commitments and obligations to all our customers and partners locally, regionally, and internationally.

 

Qatar Petroleum remains committed to its international reputation as a trustworthy, stable and reliable global energy producer and provider, and is confident that it will continue to live up to this reputation.

 

Mr. Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, Qatar Petroleum’s President and CEO expressed his deepest gratitude to all his colleagues at Qatar Petroleum, to the entire oil and gas sector in the State of Qatar, as well as QP’s international partners and service providers for their resilient efforts during the past few days, which helped mitigate the initial difficulties caused by the recent developments.
