Woqod has announced plans to expand its network of petrol stations in Doha and around the country.
The petrol stations will include car service centres. Joining its
four petrol stations already in operation will be six more under
construction in Dafna, Markhiya, on the North Road and in Shahaniya,
amongst other locations, which will be completed in the next few months.
Mohamed Khalifa Turki Al Sobai, Vice Chairman and Managing Director of
Woqod,Qatar Fuel Company said "Our strategy is to attach Fahas to our
petrol stations to create service centres and we have already created
two in Doha, now in service, including one next to the LuLu
Hypermarket," said Al Sobai, "Once we get the appropriate permission
from the authorities, more will come that will be distributed both
inside and outside Doha."
Al Sobai said Qatar may stop importing diesel fuel as soon as October,
once a condensate refinery comes into operation. Producing
approximately 25,000 barrels of diesel per day, the refinery in Ras
Laffan will make government imports of diesel unnecessary.
