据《能源年》7月12日多哈报道，卡塔尔能源事务国务部长Saad Sherida Al Kaabi周二在温哥华举行的一次会议上表示，卡塔尔正准备签署突破历史数量的长期液化天然气销售合同。

这位部长称，到2029年，该国的液化天然气产量将占到全球的40%。

这将部分通过其北方油田扩建项目提高天然气和液化天然气产量来实现，该项目的目标是到2027年每年生产4800万吨液化天然气。

这位部长还指出，与埃克森美孚的一家美国合资企业建成后，每年将增加1600万至1800万吨液化天然气。

位于得克萨斯州的Golden Pass液化天然气设施于2022年4月获得政府批准。

NOC卡塔尔能源公司持有该项目70%的运营股权。

到2027年，卡塔尔的LNG年产量有望达到1.26亿吨，而目前的年产量为7700万吨。

该声明发布之前，近期有一系列液化天然气承购协议，包括与孟加拉国和德国等国的协议。

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.
