Qatar has reached a key milestone in the global liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry by achieving 77mn tonnes annual export capacity and a customer network in all corners of the world.
........
Currently, Qatar is the world’s largest exporter and tran-shipper of liquefied natural gas. The 77mn tonnes per year (tpy) capacity is met by 14 trains, seven each at Qatargas and RasGas.
Six of these are “mega trains”, each with a 7.8mn tpy annual capacity.
At the peak of their capacity, Qatargas contracted LNG exports would reach 40mn tpy and RasGas 37mn tpy.
Qatar’s North Field, discovered in 1971, is the largest non-associated gas field in the world, with proven reserves estimated at more than 902tn cu ft (tcf), the equivalent of about 162bn barrels of oil. Qatar also holds the world’s third largest gas reserves after Russia and Iran.
Since the first drop of LNG was produced 14 years ago, Qatar has grown its capacity steadily, realising the vision of HH the Emir, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani.
Qatar has set up a world-class port at Ras Laffan to reach LNG to customers around the world. Ras Laffan Port began operations in September 1996. Since then, the port and its berth facilities have been improved significantly.
With four operational LNG berths, Ras Laffan Port is already the world’s top liquefied natural gas exporting facility.

Qatar formally celebrates its landmark achievement at a high-profile ceremony that will be held at the Ras Laffan Industrial City (RLC).
