Document background
The Gas Purchase Agreement (GPA) is a fundamental commercial document used in Qatar's energy sector to formalize the sale and purchase of natural gas between suppliers and buyers. It is particularly relevant given Qatar's position as a leading global gas exporter and its extensive domestic gas infrastructure. The agreement is structured to comply with Qatar's legal framework, particularly Law No. 3 of 2007 and related energy sector regulations. It typically includes comprehensive terms covering technical specifications, delivery obligations, pricing mechanisms, and operational procedures. The GPA is essential for both domestic gas supply arrangements and international gas trade, often involving long-term commitments and significant volumes. This document type is crucial for Qatar's energy industry stakeholders, including state-owned entities, international energy companies, and industrial consumers.
