Qatar is looking at possible investment opportunities in shale gas worldwide and doesn't see the energy source as a threat, the country's energy minister, Mohammed bin Saleh al-Sada, said Thursday.

Qatar is one of the world's largest producers of conventional natural gas, which unlike unconventional resources such as shale gas is easy and cheap to tap.
