Year in Review: Qatar
Qatar
Sasol officially opened its world-first gas-to-liquids
(GTL) plant in Qatar in June 2006, in partnership with
Qatar Petroleum. It was built to produce alternative
cleaner fuels for the global market. The ORYX GTL plant
is located in Ras Laffan Industrial City and the Sasol office
is in the city’s capital, Doha.
Qatar is classified by the United Nations as a country of high human
development. It is a high-income economy, backed by the world’s
third-largest natural gas reserves. The economic growth of the country
has been almost exclusively based on its petroleum and natural gas
industries, which began in 1940. It is the world’s leading exporter of
liquified natural gas and is amongst the wealthiest countries per
capita income.
Doha
Qatar is located in Western Asia, occupying the small Qatar Peninsula on

Empowering People Living with Disabilities
The Sasol Qatar team and Qatar’s Ministry of Social Development and Family entered a
partnership to collaborate on the Accessible Qatar initiative including the Definitely Able
initiatives to support people with disabilities.
Through our partnership, the Accessible Qatar website has reached over 70 000 people in this year and more
people are educated about the importance of creating accessibility to those who are differently abled.
