Qatar Shell GTL Limited


Financial Accountant – GTLJob ID: M10271


Location: Al-Dawhah (Doha) , Qatar

The Shell Group has pioneered the gas industry for more than 30 years and we’re now one of the largest equity producers of natural gas. Our Gas & Power business already stretches across 35 countries and, as the world searches for greener forms of energy, we expect demand for natural gas – the cleanest hydrocarbon – to double over the next two decades. Through the Pearl GTL (Gas-To-Liquids) project, Qatar Petroleum and Qatar Shell GTL Limited have joined forces to construct a world-scale GTL plant at Ras Laffan Industrial City, Qatar. This project will enable the country to use its vast gas reserves in an economically robust and environmentally positive way. The Pearl GTL project is a fully integrated project that encompasses a range of activities, from the reservoir to the marketing of new products. Gas from Qatar's North Field will be piped to the onshore gas processing plants at the rate of 1.6 billion cubic feet per day before being converted into GTL products. The project will produce 140,000 barrels per day of GTL products, as well as significant quantities of associated condensate and liquefied petroleum gas. We’re currently looking to recruit a Financial Accountant to join our GTL team in Doha, Qatar.
