Qatar, holder of the world’s third- largest gas reserves, appointed Mohammed Saleh Al Sada as energy minister, replacing Abdullah Al-Attiyah, who served in that capacity for 19 years.
The government-run Qatar News Agency said Al Sada, minister of state for energy and industry since 2007 and managing director of RasGas Co. prior to that, was named to his new position by Qatar’s Emir Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani.
Attiyah, OPEC’s longest-serving oil minister, was made head of the Emir’s court and will retain his position as deputy prime minister. Attiyah oversaw the transformation of Qatar from a country reliant on oil into the world’s biggest exporter of liquefied natural gas, or LNG.
