  3. QATAR PETROLEUM (QP) Overview • Established in 1974 as a national corporation completely owned by the State of Qatar. • Responsible for all oil and gas industry activities in Qatar, including exploration and drilling for hydrocarbon substances, production, refining, transport, storage, sale and export of the aforementioned substances and their derivatives and by- products. Qatar

  4. The operations and activities of QP are conducted at various onshore locations, which include Doha, Dukhan, Mesaieed and Ras Laffan Industrial Cities, as well as offshore areas including Halul Island, offshore production stations, drilling platform and North Gas Field.

  5. QATAR OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY Qatar hydrocarbon products are produced mainly from: • Onshore Dukhan Field, Two offshore oil fields (Bul Hanine and Maydan Mahzam) and North Gas Field. • Other offshore fields have been developed in cooperation with major international oil and gas companies through production- sharing agreements. Dukhan

  6. QATAR OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY • Currently, there is a great emphasis on the development of the large non-associated gas reserves of North Field. Several projects; are already tapping the Gas North Field • Qatar Petroleum is committed to utilizing the latest technology and to improve the recovery of oil and gas reserves through the application of well established, state-of-the-art technology as captured within international standards.

  15. Gulf Region States They are the GCC countries of the Arabian Peninsula located at the west coast of the Arabian Gulf and east coast of Red Sea. Kuwait Bahrain ArabianGulf Qatar UAE Saudi Arabia Oman Red Sea Arabian Sea

  16. Gulf Standardization Organization (GSO) – Background Gulf Cooperative Countries High Council (GCCHC) has established the Gulf StandardizationOrganization for Gulf Cooperative Countries (GSO for the GCC)on 9th November 1982. It is the Gulf region standardisation organization for GCC Countries (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman). GSO members are from all national standardisation organizations in these countries.

  17. Principle Objectives of GSO • Improve gulf countries economics by making them more efficient and competitive. • Promote the development and unity of standardization efforts in the GCC countries. • Promote the industrial, scientific and technological development in the benefit of exchange of goods and the provision of services. • Facilitate cooperation in the intellect, scientific and social fields.

  18. GSOMain Current Activities • It is responsible for issuing new and updating existing Gulf Standards developed and approved by its technical committees. It is also responsible for adopting International Standards as Gulf standards.. • In cooperation with National GCC Standardization Organizations,GSOis currently making significant efforts on the adoption of International Standards on various subjects, as Gulf and National Standards and revise GSO Standards with respect to International Standards.

  19. GSOMain Current Activities Cont., • Harmonization of GCC Standards/Technical Regulations and conformity assessment procedures with International Standards and practices is one of the main items in the current and future plans of GSO. • GSO is planning and looking forward to enhance the participation of the GCC countries in the International Standardization Technical Committees.

  20. GSO RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER BODIES Recognised WTO (TBT) OIML/CODEX International ISO/IEC AIDMO Regional Liaison Sub-Regional GSO National QS SASO BAS OS KT S UAE S Oil and Gas Producers Contractors & Service Providers Manufacturers, Suppliers/Vendors Companies

  25. GSO TC 7 OBJECTIVES 2) Specific Objectives • a)To harmonize GCC current Oil & Gas companies standards with each other and with ISO standards. • To participate in ISO Technical Committees, Sub-Committees and Working Groups relevant to the Oil & Gas Industry in order to include the Gulf Region specific requirements. • To establish a system of involvement of Gulf Oil & Gas Companies in TC 67,TC 28, TC193 & TC 176 technical work. • To adopt current International Standards (ISO/IEC), which satisfy the Gulf Region oil & gas requirements as Gulf Standards. • To establish a database for all GCC Oil & Gas Companies Standards and Specifications and provide easy access to all members.

  26. GSO TC 7– SCOPE OF WORK • The Gulf Oil & Gas Standards Committee’s will cover the following standardization activities: • Material, equipment and offshore structures used in Petroleum, Petrochemical, Natural Gas industries and LNG industries i.e., Drilling, Production, processing, transportation and storage equipment. • Petroleum & natural gas products (refined petroleum & LNG/NGL Products) • The Committee will also cover standardization activities in technical terminology, Inspection and testing, Management Systems , (Quality,Health , Safety , and Environment).

  28. The Importance of International Standardization For the Gulf Region • ISO is a world leading developer of International Standards. ISO Standards specify requirements of State-of-the-art products, services, process, material systems and good conformity assessment, managerial and organizational practices. ISO Standards are designed to be adopted and implemented worldwide.

  29. The Importance of International Standardization For the Gulf Region • Gulf Oil & Gas Industry can benefit from International Oil & Gas Industry experiences, new technology, managerial and organizational practices. • Easy to prepare Gulf Oil & Gas Industry required Standards and practices, which enable companies to minimize their specifications. • Establish common standards in Oil & Gas Industry for the benefit of world trade (Technology and information transfer) within the same regional area.
