Qatar exported what appeared to be its first oil cargo to a Persian Gulf neighbor since the United Arab Emirates and three other countries agreed to restor.
According to
S&P Global, Qatar Petroleum (QP) loaded 712,000 barrels of condensate destined for the Emirates National Oil Co. (ENOC) in the UAE on March 3.
This marks the first commercial trade exchange between Qatar and UAE since the end of the land, air, and sea blockade on Qatar that started back in 2017.
Data analytics firm Kpler had pointed out that QP shipped the condensate from Ras Laffan for discharge at the ENOC condensate refinery in Dubai on March 5.
Although ENOC and Qatar Petroleum have yet to announce this publicly, the ship charted by ENOC Abu Dhabi III was seen docked in the Ras Laffan terminal on March 3.
Qatar exported what appeared to be its first oil cargo to a Persian Gulf neighbor since the United Arab Emirates and three other countries agreed to restore ties with Doha in January.
