The move comes as a great relief for motorists, who have long complained about the lack of gas stations in Qatar, especially around the busy area of Doha, reported the Gulf Times.

“We feel there is a shortage of fuel stations, which is why we have to speed up the progress at our construction sites to have these stations opened as soon as possible,” said Woqod CEO Ibrahim al-Kuwari.

While Woqod builds 50 permanent gas stations in the next year, they are awaiting government permission and selecting the adequate locations to deploy several mobile stations across Qatar.

“We can install them in just two days. We have ordered more mobile stations and Woqod is ready to install around 25 of these stations in the next two months across the country,” added al-Kuwari.

The fuel retailing company was formed in 2002. Woqod builds modern service stations, which include a mosque and other customer facilities such as in-store coffee shops and internet cafes.
