QatarEnergy (formerly Qatar Petroleum) is the state-owned energy company of the State of Qatar. It oversees exploration, production, and development of the country’s oil and gas resources, including the North Field, and is among the world’s leading producers and exporters of liquefied natural gas (LNG). Its activities span the full value chain, from upstream operations to processing, refining, and marketing.

Through major gas processing hubs such as Ras Laffan, QatarEnergy extracts natural gas liquids and condensates that supply domestic refining and petrochemical industries. It also operates large-scale helium recovery and liquefaction, making Qatar a key global supplier of helium.

In the chemicals sector, QatarEnergy participates—often via joint ventures—with production covering petrochemicals and fertilizers, including olefins and polymers, as well as ammonia and urea. The company also holds international upstream interests and engages in technology and marketing partnerships across the energy and chemicals value chains.
