Qatargas Looks for New Markets

Qatargas sees more opportunities for Qatari LNG in the Middle East, South East Asia, South America, the Caribbean Islands and Northern Europe.

“These are emerging LNG markets that Qatargas is seriously monitoring and that we believe will help shape the future of the global industry landscape,” said Qatargas CEO Khalid bin Khalifa al-Thani to Afaq, the magazine of Total in the Middle East, Gulf Times reported.

He said that all seven Qatargas trains are operating efficiently and the new mega trains reached their designed capacity within the first year of operation.

Qatargas, he said, is adding to the energy diversity of countries in Asia, Europe, Middle East and the Americas.

“The wonderful thing about LNG is that, it can and will be, delivered where it is needed the most. One prime example of this is the reaction by the LNG market to the tragic incident at Fukushima, Japan, which led to a huge demand for gas for power generation after nuclear power plants were taken out of service,” Khalid bin Khalifa al-Thani said.
