The Ras Laffan Refinery and Petrochemical Complex is managed by Qatar's state oil and gas company - Qatar Energy. This is the main liquefied gas production site of Qatar and the world's largest liquefied gas export facility. The complex is located 80km north of the capital Doha, concentrating many of Qatar's large oil refineries and gas processing plants such as ORYX GTL, Pearl GTL, Dolphin... and a port with the world's largest artificial bay (4,500ha of closed water surface area). Ras Laffan was put into operation in 1996 with the role of storing and processing natural gas obtained from the North Field (the world's largest natural gas field off the coast of Qatar discovered in 1971). Over time, industrial plants serving the production of liquefied gas at Ras Laffan have gradually increased according to demand, turning Ras Laffan into a large-scale industrial zone.

Currently, there are 13 large corporations and companies in the gas production industry operating here. In addition to factories and industrial zones, Ras Laffan also has a number of other infrastructures such as the Ras Laffan Safety and Emergency Training Center, Erhama bin Jaber Al Jalahma Shipyard, Ras Laffan Hospital... with top quality in Qatar. Here, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh thanked the very useful information and said that the topic of energy was discussed a lot by the leaders of the two countries in recent talks and meetings; hoping that with the close cooperation of the two sides, including the interest of Qatar Energy and Ras Laffan, the energy sector will become an important, increasingly substantive and effective field of cooperation between the two countries.
