QATAR OIL PRODUCTION

Qatar is also at the forefront of gas-to-liquids (GTL) production, and the country is home to the world's largest GTL facility.

The growth in Qatar's natural gas production, particularly since 2000, has also increased Qatar's total liquids production, as lease condensates, natural gas plant liquids, and other petroleum liquids are a significant (and valuable) byproduct of natural gas production.

Qatar was the world's fourth largest dry natural gas producer in 2012 (behind the United States, Russia, and Iran), and has been the world's leading liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporter since 2006.
