Situation

QatarEnergy, one of the world’s largest producers of liquefied natural gas (LNG), plays a critical role in global energy markets, contributing significantly to energy security worldwide. With a planned increase in LNG production capacity by 64% by 2027, QatarEnergy is expected to supply nearly 40% of the world’s LNG demand by the end of the decade. The continuity of their operations is essential not only for Qatar’s economy but also for maintaining global energy stability.

Our consulting team was engaged to ensure operational continuity across all aspects of QatarEnergy’s vast infrastructure. The challenge was to identify potential vulnerabilities and implement backup strategies to protect against a wide range of risks, from geopolitical tensions to natural disasters and technical failures.
