On 3 April 2017, the president and CEO of Qatar Petroleum (QP), Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, announced that the 12-year-old moratorium on further development of the country’s North Field was being lifted to allow a new gas project to go ahead in its southern sector.
The lifting of the moratorium was only a matter of time. With the projects sanctioned under it now completed, further development is needed to boost Qatar’s flagging GDP growth.
