卡塔尔LNG产能到2027年将增至1.26亿吨

据路透社11月25日多哈报道，卡塔尔国家能源巨头卡塔尔石油公司（QP）首席执行官周一表示，到2027年，卡塔尔的LNG年产量将从目前的7700万吨增加到每年1.26亿吨。

卡塔尔的LNG工厂规模虽小，但储量丰富，已是全球最大，其扩建是能源行业获利最多的项目之一，世界上顶级油气巨头一直在竞相入股。

Saad al-Kaabi在多哈告诉记者，卡塔尔LNG生产量预计增长是在扩建的北方油田（North Field）大型项目勘探工作证实该油田的天然气储量超过1,760万亿立方英尺之后。

这也将使卡塔尔的石油日产量从未来8年的约480万桶石油当量提高到670万桶石油当量。

Kaabi说：“我们将立即启动另外两个LNG生产工厂，年总产量为1600万吨。”

“这将使卡塔尔的LNG年产量从目前的7700万吨增加到1.26亿吨，增幅约64％。”

由于产量巨大，卡塔尔是LNG市场上最有影响力的国家之一。

2017年，卡塔尔解除了世界最大天然气田——North Field的开发禁令，并宣布开发其南部地区的新项目，在5至7年内提高产量。

QP曾表示，在其LNG年产量提高到约1.1亿吨时，将建造四座新的生产工厂，既所谓的LNG生产线。

Kaabi于9月份对路透社表示，QP 已经将国际石油公司列入其扩建的北部油田大型项目的入围名单，但除非石油巨头提供重大价值，否则它仍然可能选择单干。

Qatar LNG output capacity to rise to 126mln T by 2027

Qatar's production of liquefied natural gas (LNG) will rise to 126 million tonnes per year by 2027 from 77 million tonnes now, the chief executive of state energy giantQatar Petroleum said on Monday.

The expansion of tiny but gas-rich Qatar's LNG facilities, already the world's largest, is one of the energy sector's most lucrative projects, and the world's top oil and gas majors have been racing to secure a stake.

The estimated increase in Qatar's LNG production comes after exploration work in the expanded North Field mega project showed that confirmed gas reserves of the field exceeded 1,760 trillion cubic feet, Saad al-Kaabi told reporters in Doha.

That would also boost Qatar's output to 6.7 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boed) from around 4.8 million boed in the next 8 years,.

"We will immediately commence work for two additional LNG mega trains with a combined annual capacity of 16 million tonnes per annum," Kaabi said.

"This will raise Qatar's LNG production from currently 77 million tonnes to 126 million tonnes per annum representing an increase of about 64%."

Qatar is one of the most influential players in the LNG market due to its huge production.

In 2017 it lifted a self-imposed ban on the development of the North Field, the world’s biggest natural gas field, and announced a new project to develop its southern section, increasing output in five to seven years.

QP had said before it was lifting its LNG production to around 110 million tonnes per annum and would build four new production facilities, known as LNG trains.

Kaabi told Reuters in September that QP has shortlisted international oil firms for a stake in its expanded North Field mega project, but may still choose to go it alone unless oil majors offer it significant value.
