Group CEO of Gulf International Services · Gulf International Services

Leads Qatar's largest oilfield services group — drilling, aviation, insurance, and catering supporting the world's biggest LNG producer

Ibrahim Al-Othman leads Gulf International Services (GIS) as Group CEO, managing Qatar's largest diversified oilfield services company. GIS is majority-owned by Qatar Energy (formerly Qatar Petroleum), the state energy company, and serves as a key service provider for Qatar's massive oil and gas operations — including the ongoing North Field expansion, the world's largest LNG project. GIS operates through four subsidiaries: Gulf Drilling International (GDI — Qatar's primary onshore and offshore drilling contractor, operating a fleet of drilling rigs), Gulf Helicopters (providing helicopter transportation for offshore oil and gas workers), Al Koot Insurance and Reinsurance (providing insurance services), and Amwaj Catering (providing catering and camp management for oil and gas facilities). The company is a direct beneficiary of Qatar's North Field expansion project, which will increase Qatar's LNG production capacity from 77 million tonnes per annum to 142 million tonnes by 2030. This expansion requires extensive drilling, transportation, and support services. Key stock drivers include Qatar oil and gas activity levels, North Field expansion spending, rig utilization rates and day rates, helicopter flight hours, insurance premiums, and the overall trajectory of Qatar's energy sector investment.
