The new service station was inaugurated by WOQOD’s Vice Chairman and Managing Director Mohammed Turki Al Sobia. Also attending are Members of the Board of Directors of WOQOD, and valued guests, WOQOD employees and suppliers.

The petrol station has been uniquely designed to meet the needs of different customers in Dukhan. This includes provision for stand-alone high speed diesel dispensers to cater to the industry supporting Dukhan’s oil field operations. With the large number of trucks in the area, the service station includes truck washing facilities, a first for WOQOD.

Mr. Mohammed Turki Al Sobai, stated that, “This new service station provides our different kinds of customers a 24- hour service blending the convenience store success we have established with the demands of industry in Dukhan. The station has a convenience store offering fresh and fast food as well as services including ATM and QTel payment systems. There are manual car wash facilities, quick lube operations and tyre changing too. Residents in Dukhan can expect the same broad range of products and service that we offer in other areas of Qatar.”

WOQOD has three other service stations that are near completion and will open them this year. The locations are in the Industrial Area, Al Rayyan and in Gharaffah. At least a dozen additional locations are in various forms of planning and construction and further openings will occur in the first half of 2010.
