Energy City Qatar will be a full-service energy city catering to the specialised commercial, technical and human resource needs of the oil and gas industry in the Gulf region.
Energy City Qatar intends to accomplish this aim in full co-ordination and cooperation with the combined resources of Lusail, the meticulously planned extension of Qatar’s capital city, which is being developed by Qatari Diar Real Estate and Investment Company.
Together with the Government of Qatar, Qatar Foundation, Education City, Qatar Science and Technology Park, and Qatar Petroleum, Energy City Qatar will allow for the transformation of the energy sector’s potential in the entire region and secure a unique place for Qatar in the global energy sector.
Located 20 minutes from Doha International Airport, Energy City Qatar forms part of Lusail.
A development of an unprecedented scale, Lusail will be home to up to 200,000 people in distinct residential areas.
Energy City Qatar will nestle alongside Lusail’s corporate, waterfront, marina and entertainment districts.
Energy City Qatar will be a regional community with global reach, attracting the most significant regional and international players in the hydrocarbon value chain.
As the first purpose built energy centre in the Mena region, Energy City Qatar is a realised futuristic vision, synergistic with the Qatar government’s drive to create a comprehensive, secure home for the Gulf’s energy industry and those who work in it.
Energy City Qatar will bring together national and international oil and gas, service industry, infrastructure and other related companies to interact, compete and co-operate at commercial and technical levels.
Energy City Qatar will establish Qatar as a major centre for “above-ground” business activities.
Energy City Qatar’s architectural concept is based on the golden number.
The golden number is a natural phenomenon that dictates the dimensions of the Wheel of Time.
The concept of the design follows organised chaos theory from the ground level, the leaves, which shade parts of the facility, appear to fall randomly, but an aerial view reveals the leaves falling in an ordered spiral.
Thus, Energy City Qatar is fashioned using this premise, with the creation of an organised structure that is simultaneously as freely individual as the life that goes within its community.
Energy City Qatar will also be a natural environment that complements the actions of the energy industry to create a responsible and eco-friendly sector.
Energy City Qatar will provide much more than an “accommodation” for oil, gas, and service companies.
Its vision is to be a comprehensive and integrated community with all the physical and intellectual resource requirements for the global and regional energy sector provided.
Energy City Qatar will encompass the core elements of cutting edge technology and finance. It will integrate state-of-the-art communications, high-tech data storage, retrieval and viewing facilities, world-class geophysical and analytical facilities, advanced management, supporting infrastructure ports, and specialised storage and maintenance.
Energy City Qatar will further enhance Qatar’s position on the world energy map, standing shoulder to shoulder with other key energy centres.
It will raise the global stakes of the Middle East’s energy sector, taking it beyond its role of controlling over half of the world’s oil and gas reserves.
Energy City Qatar will also reshape the dynamics of the region’s oil and gas business and expand its role in the management of above ground resources. (ends)
