Al Khalij Cement Co has signed a three-year agreement for the supply of oil well cement to Qatar Petroleum. The deal was signed at an event marking the launch of Qatar Petroleum's Tawteen programme, which has been designed to improve the supply chain of the country’s energy sector.

"We are delighted to have been selected by Qatar Petroleum for the supply of oil well cement. This represents an endorsement of the high-quality standards of our production facility. This special type of cement is a true Qatari product as the production process begins with limestone, which is the main ingredient for cement, extracted from Qatari soil," said Abdulla Bin Nasser Al Misnad, chairman, Qatari Investors Group.
