About QAPCO

Qatar Petrochemical Company Ltd. (QAPCO) is one of the leading producers

of ethylene and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) in the Middle East Region.

The required feedstock is supplied by the State owned Qatar Petroleum for

the production of ethylene. A substantial part of ethylene is consumed for the

production of LDPE of various grades, which are exported under the LOTRENE

brand name in various part of the world. The remaining ethylene is mainly supplied

to Qatar Vinyl Company (QVC) and balance if any, is exported in the overseas

market. QAPCO is one of the companies located in the Mesaieed Industrial City

along-with its neighbors producing fertilizers, steel, petroleum products and

natural gas liquids. QAPCO was established in 1974 as a joint multinational

venture to utilize the associated and non-associated Ethane feed from petroleum/natural Gas production in line with the industrialization plan of the State of Qatar.

QAPCO had commenced commercial production in 1981 and soon became well

established in the global market for its commitment to quality and reliability.

QAPCO is presently owned by Industrial Qatar (IQ) with 80% share and by Total

petrochemicals of France for the rest 20% share. The IQ is controlled & owned by

Qatar Petroleum (QP) with 70% share in it, the remaining 30% shares are being

held by the public. Qatar Petroleum is a wholly owned corporation by the State of

Qatar and responsible for the development and distribution of Countrys oil & gas

reserves and also in promoting downstream industries in the State. The TOTALPetrochemicals is part of TOTAL Group, France.

QAPCO manufacturing facilities consist of an Ethylene Plant with a designed

annual capacity of 720 KTA (though production is achieved over 800KTA), two

Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) plants of the global capacity of 400KTA, Sulphur

plant of 70KTA, Hydrogenated Propane/Butane Mix unit of 55KTA, Hydrogenated

Pygasoline unit of 45KTA beside the self sufcient utilities plants and other offsite

& auxiliary facilities. The Plants are situated in Mesaieed Industrial City on the

seacoast with jetty facilities and are very well connected to the road transport;

thereby enabling QAPCO to export its entire range of products worldwide.QAPCO produces various LDPE grades to satisfy the requirements of most

thermoplastics processing techniques. That includes: Blown Film Extrusion, Cast

Film Extrusion, Extrusion Coating, Injection Moldings and Blow Moldings suitable

to all respective applications such as lms, pipes, bottles, toys and other major

molded products having wide usage all over the world and touching everyones

daily life.

QAPCO is now undergoing expansion of LDPE capacity by establishing a third

LDPE Plant of the Capacity of 250KTA expandable to 300KTA. The Project is

forecasted to be completed by the end of 2011. After the startup of LDPE-3,

QAPCOs total LDPE production capacity would be increased to over 650-700KTPA, being one of the largest single locations of LDPE production in the World.
