Industries Qatar Q.S.C. (Arabic: صناعات قطر; IQ) is a Qatari conglomerate with subsidiaries and investments in the petrochemicals, fertilisers and steel industries. IQ is a 51% subsidiary of QatarEnergy. Its shares are traded on the Qatar Exchange and is one of the largest publicly traded companies in Qatar by market capitalisation.
The company's principal investments are Qatar Petrochemical Company (QAPCO) (an 80:20 joint venture with TotalEnergies), Qatar Fuel Additives Company (QAFAC) (50% owned, with the remaining shares held by OPIC, International Octane and Taiwan-based LCY Group), Qatar Fertiliser Company (QAFCO) (a 75:25 joint venture with Yara), and Qatar Steel.
History
QAFCO was established in 1969 as a joint venture between the government of Qatar, Norsk Hydro, Davy Power and Hambros Bank to produce ammonia and urea in Qatar. QAPCO and QAFAC were founded in 1974 and 1991 respectively. By 2003, these three companies were held by Qatar Petroleum (QP) while Qatar Steel remained directly owned by the state. In that year, Qatar Steel was transferred to QP. QP subsequently transferred Qatar Steel, along with QAFCO, QAPCO and QAFAC into Industries Qatar, which was then listed on the Qatar Exchange.
Industries Qatar was ranked 37th on Forbes Middle East's Top 100 Listed Companies 2025 list.

The company operates all oil and gas activities in Qatar, including exploration, production, refining, transport, and storage. QP's President & CEO is Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, Minister o. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Industries, Qatar and Petroleum, not as a finished interpretation.

The company operates all oil and gas activities in Qatar, including exploration, production, refining, transport, and storage. QP's President & CEO is Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, Minister o” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
