Brown due to visit Qatar gas plants
Gordon Brown is viewing huge gas plants in Qatar as his tour of the Gulf continues.
The Prime Minister is to visit Ras Laffan, which could supply up to 20% of Britain's gas needs in the future.
On Sunday, Mr Brown claimed victory in his bid to persuade Middle East countries to help bail out economies struggling amid the global downturn.
He has said he wants to boost the IMF reserve by hundreds of billions of dollars - much of it from the Gulf's trillion dollar windfall from soaring oil prices.
Officials have stressed that no formal announcements are likely before world leaders gather to discuss reform of the international financial system in Washington on November 15.
However, Mr Brown said he believed oil-rich states would up their contribution to the IMF.
"The Saudi's will, I think, contribute, so we can have a bigger fund worldwide," he said.
The comments came after the PM spent several hours talking one to one with Saudi ruler King Abdullah in Riyadh.
Mr Brown was also boosted when Qatar counterpart Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim endorsed his call for more stable oil prices, and said he believed a "fair" value would be 70-90 US dollars a barrel.
Mr Brown is due to reiterate his arguments on oil prices when he gives a speech in Abu Dhabi later.
