據《能源年》7月12日多哈報道，卡塔爾能源事務國務部長Saad Sherida Al Kaabi周二在溫哥華舉行的一次會議上表示，卡塔爾正準備簽署突破歷史數量的長期液化天然氣銷售合同。

這位部長稱，到2029年，該國的液化天然氣產量將占到全球的40%。

這將部分通過其北方油田擴建項目提高天然氣和液化天然氣產量來實現，該項目的目標是到2027年每年生產4800萬噸液化天然氣。

這位部長還指出，與埃克森美孚的一家美國合資企業建成后，每年將增加1600萬至1800萬噸液化天然氣。

位于得克薩斯州的Golden Pass液化天然氣設施于2022年4月獲得政府批準。

NOC卡塔爾能源公司持有該項目70%的運營股權。

到2027年，卡塔爾的LNG年產量有望達到1.26億噸，而目前的年產量為7700萬噸。

該聲明發布之前，近期有一系列液化天然氣承購協議，包括與孟加拉國和德國等國的協議。

Qatar is set to sign record LNG deals in 2023

Qatar is positioning itself to sign record volumes of long-term LNG offtake contracts, Qatar’s Minister of State for Energy Affairs Saad Sherida Al Kaabi said at a conference in Vancouver on Tuesday.

The minister said the country is on the path to take on 40% of global LNG output by 2029.

This will partially be achieved by upping gas and LNG production through its North Field expansion project, which aims to produce 48 million tonnes per year of LNG by 2027.

The minister also pointed to a US joint venture with ExxonMobil that will add between 16 million tonnes and 18 million tonnes of LNG production per year when complete.

The Golden Pass LNG facility in Texas received government approval in April 2022.

NOC QatarEnergy holds a 70% operating stake in the project.

Qatar is on track to produce 126 million tonnes per year of LNG by 2027, up from its current production of 77 million tonnes per year.

The announcement follows a slew of recent LNG offtake agreements, including deals with China, Bangladesh and Germany.
