QatarEnergy and Shell partner for LNG

QatarEnergy, state owned petroleum company, has partnered with Shell, multinational oil and gas company, for the expansion of the North Field South (NFS) project. This will consist of two LNG mega trains that have a combined capacity of 16 million tonnes per annum (MTPA), which will raise Qatar’s total LNG production capacity to 126 MTPA .

The North Field expansion project is the industry’s largest ever LNG project and will start production in 2026, adding more than 48 MPTA to the world’s LNG supplies by 2027.

Ben van Beurden, chief executive officer of Shell, says: ‘I am delighted that Shell’s strategic partnership with QatarEnergy is further deepened through our participation in the North Field South project.’
