Ethane from the Al Khaleej and Dolphin gas projects will be cracked by RLOC to feed downstream derivative units. The RLOC's ethylene production will be shipped to Mesaieed via a 120km pipeline where Qatofin will use to produce polyethylene and normal alpha olefins. This polyethylene will be mainly marketed in Asia, particularly China, where market is growing at 7-9% pa - higher than what is seen in Europe and North America.

Industrial diversification has constituted a major element in Qatar's economic strategy through optimal utilization of the country's huge national resources of oil, natural gas and its derivatives as feedstock.
