Dukhan (Arabic: دخان) is a city in the western municipality of Al-Shahaniya in Qatar.[2] It is approximately 80 kilometres (50 mi) west of the capital, Doha. Dukhan is administered by Qatar's state oil agency QatarEnergy and is the site of the first oil discovery in Qatar.[3] It was previously a part of Al Rayyan municipality.
All the industrial operations inside the city are administered by the Dukhan Operations Department. A special permit from QatarEnergy, in the form of a Dukhan entry gate pass, is required for entry to the city. Dukhan Highway, a four-lane motorway that runs for approximately 66 km, connects the city with Doha.[4]
