据油气新闻3月8日消息称，随着卡塔尔正全速扩大其液化天然气产能，该国已成为未来30年中东天然气产量的亮点之一。
GECF(天然气出口国论坛)第6版《2050年全球天然气展望》称，卡塔尔未来在全球液化天然气贸易中扮演的角色前景非常乐观，因为与其他液化天然气供应商相比，卡塔尔有很大潜力以更低运输成本将其液化天然气货物送往亚洲市场。
GECF在《2050年全球天然气展望》指出：“卡塔尔和沙特阿拉伯是未来30年中东天然气产量的亮点。从2020年到2050年，卡塔尔为2.2%，沙特阿拉伯为1.2%。”
卡塔尔是世界上最大的液化天然气（LNG）供应商，已经开始了一项雄心勃勃的液化天然气产能扩张计划。两期北部油田扩建项目将使卡塔尔液化天然气产能从7700万吨/年增加到2027年的1.26亿吨/年，增幅约64%。第一阶段扩建将包括到2025年将LNG产能从7700万吨/年扩大到1.1亿吨/年，而第二阶段将在2027年将LNG产能扩大到1.26亿吨/年。
大多数GECF(天然气出口国论坛)国家将在展望期间保持或扩大天然气产能。我们预计，目前GECF成员国的天然气总产量将增加一半以上，到2050年将达到2.6万亿立方米左右。这意味着在未来一段时间内，GECF的年增长率为1.4%，这将使其在全球天然气产量中所占的份额保持在47%左右。
报告指出：“卡塔尔（24.2%）和尼日利亚（9.7%）预计将成为天然气产量增加的最大贡献者。阿尔及利亚预计将对非常规天然气产量做出最大贡献。”
作为第三大天然气储备国，卡塔尔一直在全球天然气贸易中发挥着重要作用，这得益于其巨大的北方油田的持续和成功的勘探，以及对先进的液化天然气生产线的投资，并在相关技术方面采用了最佳做法。
卡塔尔的北部气田形成了世界上最大的气田之一。卡塔尔是全球最大的液化天然气出口国，年产量为7710万吨，占2020年全球液化天然气产量的22%。

Qatar among bright spots for Middle East gas output
As Qatar is moving full steam ahead to expand its LNG production capacity, the country has emerged as one of the bright spots for Middle Eastern gas output over the next three decades.
The outlook for the future role of Qatar in global LNG trade is very promising since Qatar has a great potential to send its LNG cargoes into Asian markets with lower shipping costs compared to other LNG suppliers, said the sixth edition of GECF Global Gas Outlook 2050.
“Iran, Qatar and Saudi Arabia are the bright spots for Middle Eastern gas output over the next three decades. Between 2020 and 2050, the natural gas supply is set to climb by an annual average growth rate of 2.2 percent in Qatar and 1.2 percent in Saudi Arabia,” noted the GECF Global Gas Outlook 2050.
Qatar, the world’s biggest supplier of liquefied natural gas (LNG), has embarked on an ambitious LNG capacity expansion plan. The two-phase North Field Expansion project will see Qatar LNG capacity increase from 77 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) to 126 mtpa by 2027, showing an increase of around 64 percent. The first phase of expansion will include expansion of LNG capacity from 77 mtpa to 110 mtpa by 2025 while the second phase will take LNG capacity to 126 mtpa by 2027.
Most GECF (Gas Exporting Countries Forum) countries will maintain or expand gas production capacity over the outlook period. We expect that total gas production from current GECF members will increase by more than half, reaching approximately 2600 bcm by 2050. This translates to a 1.4 percent annual growth rate over the outlook period, which will enable the GECF to keep its share of global gas production at around 47 percent.
“Qatar (24.2 percent) and Nigeria (9.7 percent) are expected to be the largest contributors to incremental gas production volumes. Algeria are expected to contribute the most to unconventional gas production,” noted the report.
As the third-largest natural gas reserve holder, Qatar has been playing a meaningful role in the global natural gas trade that resulted from continuous and successful exploration in its giant North Field and investing in advanced LNG trains, employing the best practices in associated technologies.
Qatar’s North Field form one of the world’s largest gas fields. Qatar is the biggest LNG exporter worldwide with 77.1 mtpa, which accounted for 22 percent of global LNG production in 2020.
