Theoretically those who are directly related to the operation and maintenance of facilities should be located in Al Khor. However, shortage of housing causes some ops and maint. personnel located in Doha and they take daily buses to Ras Laffan.Also, in the last few months there has been movement of personnel from Ras Laffan Office to Doha Office, primarily for the non-operation related personnel i.e. HR, Finance/Accounting.It has caused some personnel still stay in Al Khor with office in Doha. Housing Dept is working on it now. In addition I understand that now housing matters for RasGas and Qatargas are taken care by RasGas (meaning Housing manager is from RG with his responsibility to cover both RG and QG).

If you work in Ras Laffan you might still be able to live in Doha provided that you are not in critical operation-related function, or housing availability issue in Al Khor help you move out to Doha, or you insist to live in Doha for very valid and justifiable reasons.
