Ras Abu Aboud (Arabic: راس بو عبود, romanized: Ra's Abū 'Abbūd) is a Qatari district located in the municipality of Doha. It is an industrial district containing power and desalination plants.[1] It accommodates one of Qatar's three major power stations which supply electricity to the whole country.[2]

History

In the 1820s, George Barnes Brucks carried out the first British survey of the Persian Gulf.[3] He recorded the following notes about Ras Abu Aboud, which he referred to as Ras Boo Aboot:

"Ras Boo Aboot, the SE. boundary of Al Bidder Harbour, is in lat. 25° 17' N., long. 51° 35' E. The reef that forms the southern side of the entrance to Al Bidder Harbour runs out two miles from this point, and continues along shore, running off about one mile, until it joins Fasht al Anief."[4]

The British Hydrographic Office conducted a survey of the Persian Gulf in 1890 and wrote the following description of Ras Abu Aboud:

"Ras Bu Abut is a low point in the bay, 21⁄2 miles W.N.W. from the last [Ras Abul Mashut]. Off it there is little reef, but between it and Abul Mushlit a great reef projects for 2 miles to the northward, forming the south side of the entrance to the harbour ; it is chiefly rocky, and has only a few feet on it at low water. The entrance to the harbour, north of this reef, is only one-third of a mile broad, for half a mile of its length, with 31⁄2 and 41⁄2 fathoms in it. The northern reef projects to south-eastward 11⁄2 miles, from a low sandy island with grass on it, called Jezirat as Sufla [Al Safliya Island]. This reef is chiefly of sand, and, outside the entrance, trends to north-east and northward, extending for some miles. Sufla Island is narrow, and about a mile long East and West; it bears N. by E. 3 miles from Ras Bu Abut. Within the entrance the harbour opens out into a basin about 3 miles in extent, with soundings from 3 to 5 fathoms, quite regular, over a bottom of white mud or clay."[5]

Inaugurated in 1963, the Ras Abu Aboud power station was built at a cost of QR 1 billion. It had a capacity of 60 MW in 1970, and an expansion in 1972 increased this to 90 MW. After several more expansions, by 1976 its capacity had been increased to 102.5 MW.[7]

By 1984 its capacity was more than doubled to 210 MW.[8]

Desalination plant

In 1983, over QR 50 million had been invested in the desalination plant and it had a production of 11.5 million gallons per day.[7]
