Recommended: Economic impact of oil in the middle east

Qatar is a peninsula that is coastal to the Persian Gulf near Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. Qatar is known as the third largest country with natural gas reserves world-wide. It also holds home to the world’s largest non-associated natural gas reservoir that is called North Field. In this paper I will be talking about oil and its impacts on the economy and the environment in the country of Qatar. As a country Qatar’s economy depends highly on oil and natural gas. In other words, if Qatar no longer had any oil or natural gas left than Qatar’s economy would collapse because the biggest part of their economy would no longer exist. If this was to happen Qatar’s population would decrease dramatically because most of the inhabitants …show more content…

Soil trials were taken all over the Qatarian peninsula to test the radiation levels in the soil. One of the trials ended up being higher in radiation than all the other trials, all were taken from a coastal oil field and was automatically assumed that Tenorm was the cause with the mobility of Ra in oil-field rocks. There should have been more trials where the soil tested high in radiation. A trial investigation of metals in marine life occurred because of the 1991 oil spill. The only creature that was affected by this oil spill was the muddy lobster. The muddy lobster Hg and Cd levels were higher than they were before, but since they were the only species with a problem, it was thought other factors resulted from the higher levels of Hg and Cd. Since they do not know exactly what caused the Hg and Cd levels to spike they determined it was not because of the oil spill, but they do not know if it was a combination of factors with the oil spill that caused …show more content…

Haloul highest wind speed is 7.1 m/s and the lowest wind speed is3.1 m/s.” Wind power can be accessed from Qatar. In conclusion in this paper I talked about oil and its impacts on the economy and the environment in the country of Qatar. Qatar’s economy cannot support its city population if it were to run out of oil. Qatar has a lot to offer from oil, gas, and wind energy. This is why people come to Qatar, for jobs in energy.

  • Our Dangerous Dependence on Fossil Fuels

    687 Words  | 2 Pages

    Fossil fuels have been proven to be damaging to our environment, economy and has made the United States vulnerable to dangerous and unstable countries by exporting the resources that they have. The U.S. depends on countries like Sadie Arabia for our oil supplies. How would we be affected if Sadie Arabia refused to sell us their oil? Would our oil reserves run out or would we be able to buy from another country? These are scenarios that we need to be concerned about. According to Rebecca Lefton and Daniel J. Weiss in their article “Oil Dependence Is a Dangerous Habit”, the U.S. has increased import of oil in the recent years, creating a bigger deficit in the United States. Our countries deficit has resulted in nationwide budget cuts. The continuation of oil imports with foreign countries is going to create an even larger debt in America. In 2008 our country spent around $150 Billion on oil imports alone (Lefton, R. & Weiss, D.J. (2014) Oil Dependence Is a Dangerous Habit. Retrieved from http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/green/report/2010/01/13/7200/oil-dependence-is-a-dangerous-habit/). Environmentally, the burning of fossil fuels have led to global warming.

  • United States Foreign Oil Dependency

    918 Words  | 2 Pages

    The U.S dependency on foreign oil presents many negative impacts on the nation’s economy. The cost for crude oil represents about 36% of the U.S balance of payment deficit. (Wright, R. T., & Boorse, D. F. 2011). This does not affect directly the price of gas being paid by consumers, but the money paid circulates in the country’s economy and affects areas such as; the job market and production facilities. (Wright, R. T., & Boorse, D. F. 2011). In addition to the rise in prices, another negative aspect of the U.S dependency on foreign crude oil is the risk of supply disruptions caused by political instability of the Middle East. According to Rebecca Lefton and Daniel J. Weiss in the Article “Oil Dependence Is a Dangerous Habit” in 2010, the U.S imported 4 million barrels of oil a day or 1.5 billion barrels per year from “dangerous or unstable” countries. The prices in which these barrels are being purchased at are still very high, and often lead to conflict between the U.S and Middle Eastern countries. Lefton and Weiss also add that the U.S reliance on oil from countries ...

    Egypt has gone through a long journey and sometimes it seems as though it repeats the same path over and over again. Whether its Mubarak, Sadat or Nasser, Egypt has not had its luck with any of the presidents nor kings for that matter. Under these presidents, Egypt went through oppression, discrimination and inequality for its citizens. Religion and gender played a big role in creating this discrimination, especially towards the Muslim brotherhood members. However, these presidents had more than simply discrimination, they had bad policies. Whether it was asking the wrong countries for aid or joining the wrong wars, they all made mistakes. Nasser is one of the most controversial presidents because although he did make some accomplishments he made many more sacrifices in the freedom of the Egyptian people than should have
