壳牌将参与卡塔尔下一波液化天然气扩张

卡塔尔国有油气公司（QatarEnergy）选择壳牌作为其北部油气田(NFS)液化天然气(LNG)扩建项目的第二个国际合作伙伴，此前，道达尔能源成为该项目的第一个国际合作伙伴。

根据合作协议，壳牌将获得该项目每年1600万吨(Mtpa)项目的9.375%的参与权益，其中25%的权益可供国际合作伙伴使用，而卡塔尔国有油气公司将持有剩余75%的权益。

卡塔尔能源事务国务部长、卡塔尔国有油气公司总裁兼首席执行官Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi表示：“卡塔尔将向市场提供新的液化天然气量，在最近地缘政治动荡的背景下，天然气变得更加重要，在满足全球环境目标对更清洁能源的迫切需求中。鉴于全球不仅对能源安全日益关注，而且对务实的能源转型以及公平和公平地获得清洁能源也日益关注，这些数量是值得欢迎的。”

这是QatarEnergy第二次宣布NFS合作伙伴关系，第三个合作伙伴将在适当的时候宣布。

今年早些时候，壳牌作为一家合资公司25%的股东加入了北油田东部(NFE)的扩张。NFE投资287.5亿美元，计划在2025年底前投产。

Shell takes part in the next wave of Qatar’s LNG expansions

OFFSHOREENERGY 24 October 2022

Qatar’s state-owned oil and gas company QatarEnergy has selected Shell as its second international partner in the North Field South (NFS) liquefied natural gas (LNG) expansion project, following the selection of TotalEnergies as the first international partner in the project.

Under the partnership agreement, Shell will obtain a 9.375% participating interest in the 16 million tons per annum (Mtpa) project, out of the 25% interest available for international partners, while QatarEnergy will hold the remaining 75% interest.

Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, the Minister of State for Energy Affairs, President and CEO of QatarEnergy, said: “The new LNG volumes, which Qatar will bring to the market, come at a time when natural gas assumes greater importance in light of recent geopolitical turmoil, and amidst the dire need for cleaner energy to meet global environmental objectives.

These volumes are a welcome addition given the increasing global concern not just over energy security, but also over a pragmatic energy transition as well as fair and equitable access to cleaner energy.”

This is the second announcement for the NFS partnerships by QatarEnergy, with the third partner to be announced in due course.

Earlier this year, Shell joined the North Field East (NFE) expansion as a holder of a 25% share in a joint venture company. A $28.75 billion investment, NFE is to start production before the end of 2025.
