The agreement was signed by Qatari Investors’ Group CEO, Raja Assili, and Qatar Petroleum’s Executive Vice President Projects, Engineering & Procurement Services Mohamed Al-Marri.

The Tawteen program is an initiative designed to improve the supply chain of the energy sector.

Qatari Investors Group’s Chairman, Abdulla Bin Nasser Al Misnad said: “We are delighted to have been selected by Qatar Petroleum for the supply of oil well cement. This represents an endorsement of the high quality standards of our production facility. This special type of cement is a true Qatari product as the production process begins with limestone, which is the main ingredient for cement, extracted from Qatari soil. Having fulfilled Qatar Petroleum’s stringent standards, we are confident about turning this home grown success story into an export opportunity”.
