History of Qatar: The Discovery of Oil. History of Qatar: The Discovery of Oil Last updated on Thursday 22nd April 2010. Petroleum was discovered in commercial quantities in Qatar in 1939 and was first exported in 1949. Oil revenues have given Qatar a substantial income and a high standard of living. Exploratory drilling in Qatar began in 1938 and Oil was discovered in Dukhan on the west coast in 1939. By 1940 Qatar was producing about 4,000 barrels per day.
For instance, in 1960 (when OPEC formed), the Middle East oil reserves were estimated to be 183 Bb (or 60% of the worldâs total) which increased to 343 Bb in 1970 (55%), 362 Bb in 1980 (53%), 661 Bb in 1990 (53%), 697 Bb in 2000 (55%), and 766 Bb in 2010 (47%).urrent estimates place the Middle Eastâs conventional oil at about 800 Bbo, or nearly half of the worldâs proven recoverable crude. What makes the Middle East so unique is the concentration of numerous giant fields in the region.
