Doha, Qatar-based Qatar Fuel (WOQOD) announced it plans to establish an engine oil production factory in Mesaieed Industrial City in Qatar.
WOQOD supplies a wide range of lubricants under different brand names such as Ghaf gasoline engine oils and two-stroke engine oils, Qorm diesel engine oils, Osaj gear oil and ATF, Huwait hydraulic, turbine and cutting oil and Samr greases.
Currently it sources the products from other companies.
WOQOD is set to establish a factory for the production of engine oils on its own, and the company has already completed a feasibility study for the proposed project, said Ibrahim Jaham Al Kuwari, CEO of Qatars leading distributor of petroleum products.
Its lubricants comprise high quality fully synthetic, semi synthetic and mineral engine oils for all types of cars, trucks and off road equipment. In addition to the premium range of engine oils, there is a complete range of ancillary products including gear oils, coolants, brake fluids, hydraulic and industrial oils and greases.
Qatar Fuel is a downstream oil storage, distribution and marketing company, formed in 2002 as a joint stock company listed in Qatar Exchange. The company was formed from the fuel storage and distribution assets owned at that time by Qatar Petroleum under the name of NODCO (National Oil Distribution Company). NODCO-owned Qatar's fuel distribution depot located in Abu Hamour supplies diesel, gasoline and aviation fuels to the entire State of Qatar.
Qatar Fuel is exclusively responsible for the distribution of fuel needs within Qatar. This includes diesel and gasoline for vehicles, boats and industry and aviation fuel for Doha International Airport; all served through a fleet of more than 350 road-tankers. The company also trades in bunker fuels, ship-to-ship bunkering within Qatari waters, bitumen importation and distribution, for building new roads, LPG for cooking, and own-branded-lubricants. In addition, it builds modern branded service stations across Qatar.
