卡塔尔将增加LNG年产量至1.1亿吨

中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社迪拜报道，卡塔尔周三宣布了提高LNG产能的计划，这将使该国与最大的能源出口国平起平坐，以展现其政治等方面的能力。

卡塔尔是石油出口国中最小的生产国之一，但由于其巨大的产能和天然气储量，该国也是全球液化天然气市场上最具影响力的国家之一。

全球顶级的LNG供应商卡塔尔石油表示，它将增加第四条LNG生产线，以将其北部油田的产量提高到每年1.1亿吨，这比目前每年7700万吨的生产能力增长了约43%。

这家国家能源巨头的首席执行官Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi在一份声明中表示：“根据最近的评估和测试所取得的良好结果，我们决定增加第四条LNG生产线，这将使卡塔尔的总产能从每天480万桶增加到620万桶。”

Qatar to boost gas output in sign of strength amid Gulf rift

Qatar announced plans on Wednesday to boost its liquefied natural gas (LNG) production capacity, which will put the tiny state on a par with top energy exporters in an apparent show of strength amid a protracted political row with Gulf neighbors.

Qatar is one of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting countries’ smallest producers but is also one of the most influential players in the global LNG market due to its massive output capacity and gas reserves.

Qatar Petroleum (QP), the world’s top supplier of LNG, said it was adding a fourth LNG production line to raise its output capacity from the North Field, to 110 million tonnes a year.This is an increase of around 43 percent from its current production capacity of 77 million tonnes a year.

“Based on the good results obtained through recent additional appraisal and testing, we have decided to add a fourth LNG mega train,” Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, the CEO of the state energy giant, said in a statement.“This will increase Qatar’s total production capacity from 4.8 to 6.2 million barrels of oil equivalent per day.”
