Qatar Petroleum needs the support of Iran now more than any time before. I don't believe it would be possible for Qatar Petroleum to increase production without the cooperation with Iran, if in the long term the( political) situation stayed same as now, also, major( oil) companies may be asked to choose between working in Qatar Petroleum or Saudi/UAE and Egypt, otherwise there be sanctions against them. That’s why I don’t think that developing this project by Qatar Petroleum now will be as easy as before, politically not financially.
