Dukhan Oil Fields: The BeginningDukhan is a town on theWest Coast of Qatar,
whereall its onshore oil is produced.
Oil was first discovered in 1939 and exported in 1949.
235 000 barrels / day are now piped to Umm Said for refining and export.

Qatar Makes Concessions...In the 1990s, the
Emir of Qatar gave QP custodianship of the western area to explore and develop.
The Concession Area is an 80km x 50km strip along the West Coast.

Go East!All Dukhan oil is
pumped 100 kilometres east to Umm Said on the East Coast.
Oil is refined and exported in the industrial city in Umm Said.

Wells Aplenty!
Wells have been drilled in the Dukhan area since the 40s.
Over 300 wells now exist, not including disused wells that have ceased to function.

Merry Christmas!The top of an oil well
is called a wellhead.
The structure showing above ground is called a “christmas tree” by operational staff.

Power and Gas StrippingCommissioning of
the Dukhan Power Plant in 1958 enabled new projects.
In 1974 a plant was commissioned to separate associated gas from the crude oil.

Under Pressure!Ageing wells tend to
lose pressure over time.
In 1989 a water injection plant was built to raise well pressures.

Need a Lift?Surplus gas from
North Field in the Gulf was used from 1989 to raise pressures in Dukhan.
The injection of gas into oil reservoirs to raise pressure was called the “Gas Lift Project”

Arab D Condensate ProjectOil is often mixed with
condensates-lighter, saleable hydrocarbons including benzene and pentane.
The Arab D Project in 1998 sought to remove condensates for ready sale to the market.

Offshore Testing in the WestCurrently, all drilling
on the West Coast is onshore.
Analysis of seismic testing should tell us by 2013 whether oil and gas reserves exist offshore of Dukhan.

Flaring-Less is More
Flaring is a means of safely disposing of excess amounts of flammable gasses.
Qatar Petroleum is committed to a target of zero flaring as a long term environmental policy.
