Qatar Petroleum has put on hold its Al-Shaheen refinery indefinitely, MEED has reported, citing a source close to the project. One contractor source has said, it is not expecting the project to be re-tendered this year, as other contractors agree, however, saying they have not received any official confirmation that the project has been cancelled. The project set to be located in Mesaieed was intended to process heavy crude oil from the Al-Shaheen oil field.
