QatarEnergy and Shell Cement Ties with 25-Year Condensate Supply Pact

QatarEnergy has taken a significant step forward in energy diplomacy and trade by signing its first-ever 25-year condensate supply agreement with Shell International Eastern Trading Company (SIETCO), a subsidiary of Shell Plc based in Singapore. The agreement, which comes into effect in July 2025, covers the supply of up to 285 million barrels of condensate, setting a new record in both volume and duration for the Qatari energy giant.

The signing ceremony was held in Doha and attended by Qatar’s Minister of State for Energy Affairs, H.E. Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, and Shell CEO Wael Sawan. Al-Kaabi highlighted the importance of this agreement in cementing long-term commercial relationships: “Long-term deals like this one with Shell allow us to deliver greater certainty and value to our customers while reinforcing global energy security.”

The deal builds on a strong foundation of collaboration between the two companies. QatarEnergy and Shell have previously joined forces on major initiatives including the Pearl GTL Plant and multiple LNG projects, both in Qatar and abroad. Their shared commitment to innovation, supply reliability, and long-term partnerships continues to drive mutual growth.

For Shell, this deal is not only a strategic business move but also a testament to the enduring trust in Qatar’s role as a secure and stable energy partner in an increasingly complex global market.

Sky Care: How the UAE’s First Hospital Vertiport is Redefining Emergency Response

  Imagine a critical patient, a time-sensitive organ for transplant, or a specialist medical team needed across a bustling city. On the ground, traffic is a formidable adversary, where every minute lost can alter outcomes. Now, imagine that same journey taking minutes instead of an hour, not by navigating the roads, but by soaring gracefully above them. This is not a scene from a sci-fi film; it is the new reality in the United Arab Emirates. In a landmark move that solidifies its position on the global stage of innovation, the UAE has officially launched the nation’s — and the region’s — first hospital-based vertiport at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi. This isn’t just a helipad with a new name. It is the cornerstone of a fully integrated, city-wide advanced air mobility (AAM) ecosystem, marking a profound convergence of cutting-edge aviation, AI-driven healthcare, and sustainable infrastructure. The Launch of a Lifesaving Corridor The project is a powerful collaboration between aviati...

Three Houses, One Vision – How the UAE’s Abrahamic Family House is Redefining Inter-Faith Dialogue

  When you step onto the stone-plinth of the Abrahamic Family House on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi, you are not just visiting a building. You are entering a bold statement: a mosque, a church and a synagogue standing side-by-side, equal in size and purpose, sharing common ground while respecting their separate faiths. A landmark of coexistence In early 2023 the UAE inaugurated this pioneering complex, inviting worshippers and visitors alike. The architecture — designed to give each of the three faith-homes the same external dimensions and to signal equality — allows each to express its own traditions while remaining visibly part of a unified vision. More than 200 nationalities live in the UAE, which means the project reflects a multicultural reality in which multiple faiths and identities coexist daily. Islam’s role in the vision For Muslim-majority audiences in the Gulf, the Abrahamic Family House sends a resonant message: Islam does not fear dialogue — it embraces it. The m...

Beyond the Handshake: How the EU-UAE Partnership is Forging a New Model for 21st-Century Trade

  We are witnessing a pivotal moment in international relations, not in the halls of Washington or Beijing, but in the vibrant heart of Dubai. The ongoing negotiations between the European Union and the United Arab Emirates for a comprehensive Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and a parallel Strategic Partnership Agreement represent far more than a simple trade deal. This is a conscious, data-backed effort to build a deep and strategic partnership designed to thrive amid global economic uncertainty. The Foundation: A Trade Relationship Already in High Gear Before the first negotiation even began, the economic ties were already formidable. In 2024, trade in goods between the EU and UAE reached a staggering €55.6 billion, solidifying the UAE’s position as the EU’s second-largest trading partner in the Gulf region. The services sector adds another robust layer, with trade exceeding €39 billion in 2023. The growth trajectory is equally impressive; EU exports to the UAE saw a 15% surge in a si...
