Doha: Qatar Fuel, “Woqod”, opened 19 fixed and mobile petrol stations across the country last year, bringing the total number of Woqod service stations to 56.
The number of technical inspection centres, “Fahes”, run by Woqod reached seven, said a statement.
The new stations significantly helped reduce the traffic that the stations witnessed before, due to the increasing demand for petrol and other services, in addition to the closure of other non-Woqod stations for maintenance or change in the field of business.
“In 2016, we opened 12 fixed service stations and seven mobile petrol stations across Qatar especially in North, South and West,” said Engineer Ibrahim Al Kuwari, the Chief Executive Officer of Woqod.
Woqod opened fixed service stations as Sudantheel station on Salwa Road, and stations at Smeisma, AinSinan, Thameed, and North City in northern part of the country, Old Al Ghanem, Msheireb and Al-Muntazah in central Doha, and Al Rayyan service station in Al-Rayyan. Additionally, Woqod opened stations at Al Wukair and Mashaf in Al-Wukair and Southern Wakra.
Nine stations are in the final stages of getting the required permits in different areas. Woqod has a new strategy of building mobile petrol stations to provide petrol services in areas with high demand or those with no stations at all.
