“We are delighted to sign our first-ever five-year crude sales agreement. This agreement further strengthens QatarEnergy’s relationship with Shell, which is not only a reliable crude oil off-taker, but also a major customer and a strategic partner of QatarEnergy,” said Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, the minister of state for energy affairs and president and CEO of QatarEnergy.
