Most of Qatars Natural Gas proven reserves of 509 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) are located in the offshore North Field, which is the largest known non-associated natural gas field in the world. Smaller associated gas reserves also are contained in the Id al-Shargi, Maydan Mahzam, Bul Hanine, and al-Rayyan offshore Oil fields. The Qatari government believes that the countrys economic future lies in developing this vast natural gas potential. One proposed project will tie Qatar into the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Dolphin Project, an integrated natural gas Pipeline grid for Qatar, UAE, and Oman, with a possible subsea connection linking Oman to Pakistan.
