We see Qatar sustaining this lead over the forecast period, with the successful deployment of GTL technology boosting its petroleum export revenues. Qatar?s crude oil prospects are less exciting, as its oil reserves are modest in comparison with its Persian Gulf neighbours.- BMI sees Qatari gas production growing to nearly 200bn cubic metres (bcm) by 2021. Rising gas consumption will mean that volumes available for export are likely to peak earlier.- We expect a 20% increase in oil production in the period 2011-21, with a small increase in relative exports. The rise in Qatari refining capacity will boost domestic consumption of crude oil.- We see Qatari proven oil reserves remaining broadly flat in the period 2011-21, with gas reserves declining in the same period by about 7%. Exploration successes create upside risks to these forecasts.- The successful execution of Pearl GTL will boost Qatar?s petroleum export revenues.Qatar?s dependence on oil prices leads to high volatility in the country?s export revenues. Our assumptions of slower growth in China, a faltering recovery in the US and a worsening eurozone debt crisis, clearly pose a threat to global oil demand. We assume OPEC basket oil prices will fall from US$101.90 per barrel (bbl) in 2011 to US$99.38/bbl in 2012, thus creating downside risk to Qatar?s macroeconomic outlook.Fri, 10 Feb 2012 11:40:00 GMTBusiness Monitor International Limited pdf_100212115049Subscriptionhttp://www.zawya.com/story.cfm/sidZAWYA20120210080633/Industries_Qatar_gets_Moodys_debut_Aa3_credit_ratingIndustries Qatar (IQ) has announced the group was assigned an Aa3 debut credit rating from Moody's Investor Services, with a stable outlook.Fri, 10 Feb 2012 08:34:49 GMTThe Peninsula ZAWYA20120210080633Openhttp://www.zawya.com/story.cfm/sidZAWYA20120209102806/Fitch_affirms_Qtel_at_AFitch Ratings has affirmed Qatar Telecom Q.S.C's (Qtel) Long-term foreign currency Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at 'A+' with Stable Outlook.
