QATAR QATAR'S recent track record of implementing two-three major projects a year will be maintained in 1997. With Doha's attention still firmly fixed on developing its gas-based industrial sector, two new refining and petrochemical projects are expected to get under way, along with a major expansion of power and desalination capacity at the Ras Abu Fontas complex. In the early part of the year, much of the attention in the market will be on concluding some unfinished business on the Ras Laffan LNG Company (Rasgas) integrated gas scheme and the Qatar Fuel Additives Company (Qafac) petrochemical project. A steady stream of subcontracts are expected to be let by the Japanese/US joint venture of JGC Corporation and The MW Kellogg Company, the main contractor for the Rasgas liquefaction plant project. Activity at Qafac will also be closely monitored.
