Qatar Petroleum Unveils New Corporate Video

Doha, March 06 (QNA) -Qatar Petroleum (QP) has unveiled its new corporate video, which makes full use of modern film production techniques to tell a highly engaging story of the corporation s history and operations as well as the rapid development of the State of Qatar over the years. "Produced under the directives of HE Dr. Mohammed bin Saleh Al-Sada, Minister of Energy and Industry and Chairman & Managing Director of QP, our new corporate video effectively illustrates the extensive scope of the corporation s operations, the expansion of Qatar s oil & gas industry, as well as the full development of the country s petrochemical industry all of which contribute greatly in Qatar s continued economic growth," said Mr. Sultan Abdulla Ali Al-Abdulla, Public Relations and Communications Manager of QP, the Company said in a statement. "Everyone who sees the video will surely be amazed by the modern production techniques used to make it informative and entertaining at the same time, while highlighting Qatar s important role in meeting the world s rising energy requirements," he added. Available in both English and Arabic, QP s new corporate video revolves around a young Qatari boy who opens a magical book that was fished out from the sea. Suddenly sucked into the pages of the book, he witnesses the first-ever discovery of oil in Dukhan in 1939, the first shipment of Qatari crude oil in 1949, and the discovery in 1971 of the North Field, which is the world s largest single non-associated gas field. The boy then sees how the optimal utilization of Qatar s abundant oil and gas resources has led to the country s unprecedented social and economic development under the visionary leadership of HH the Emir of Qatar Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani. Using a combination of sophisticated computer animations, aerial shots, old footage, stirring soundtrack and live-action photography, the new QP corporate video presents a vivid history of the growth of the corporation and it showcases the country s development through the years. The video also prominently features Qatar s emergence as the world s No. 1 producer of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and as the global capital of gas-to-liquids (GTL) products. The over 7-minute video, which was produced by the London-based The Edge Picture Company Ltd., can be viewed either on the QP website (www.qp.com.qa), at its official YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/QPQatar), or at its official Facebook page (www.facebook.com/qatarpetroleum).(QNA)
