HFI has had the privilege of supporting many companies to enter and grow in the Qatar energy market over the last 20 years and I am delighted to introduce our Qatar Ventures Initiative eGuidebook.  
 
The Energy Industries Council (“EIC”) DataStream service currently tracks over 140 major active and upcoming energy projects in Qatar, spanning upstream and midstream oil & gas, LNG processing and export, petrochemicals, power and water, renewables, and carbon capture.

These projects represent a total opportunity pipeline exceeding US$85 billion, accounting for a significant share of the GCC’s total US$720 billion energy project market. In addition, earlier this year, QatarEnergy reaffirmed its capital expenditure plans for 2025, targeting over US$30 billion in spending, much of it allocated to the North Field Expansion (NFE) and North Field South (NFS) projects. Qatar holds the world’s third- largest proven natural gas reserves and is the leading exporter of liquefied natural gas (“LNG”). Qatar’s LNG exports play a pivotal role in the global energy market.  

Qatar is making significant progress in renewable energy, with ambitious targets for 30% renewable energy by 2030 and is rapidly advancing its Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) initiatives led by QatarEnergy.  

Qatar is one of the most strategically important global energy markets through to 2030 and beyond. Qatar’s energy sector is expected to maintain its global leadership in LNG while advancing its renewable energy agenda and pursuing economic diversification. The ongoing North Field Expansion, investments in carbon capture and energy efficiency, and the development of new LNG carriers and infrastructure present significant opportunities for international investors. However, success in the market will depend on the ability to navigate operational, market, and policy challenges.
