據(jù)油氣新聞3月8日消息稱，隨著卡塔爾正全速擴(kuò)大其液化天然氣產(chǎn)能，該國(guó)已成為未來(lái)30年中東天然氣產(chǎn)量的亮點(diǎn)之一。

GECF(天然氣出口國(guó)論壇)第6版《2050年全球天然氣展望》稱，卡塔爾未來(lái)在全球液化天然氣貿(mào)易中扮演的角色前景非常樂(lè)觀，因?yàn)榕c其他液化天然氣供應(yīng)商相比，卡塔爾有很大潛力以更低運(yùn)輸成本將其液化天然氣貨物送往亞洲市場(chǎng)。

GECF在《2050年全球天然氣展望》指出：“卡塔爾和沙特阿拉伯是未來(lái)30年中東天然氣產(chǎn)量的亮點(diǎn)。從2020年到2050年，卡塔爾為2.2%，沙特阿拉伯為1.2%?！?/p>

卡塔爾是世界上最大的液化天然氣（LNG）供應(yīng)商，已經(jīng)開始了一項(xiàng)雄心勃勃的液化天然氣產(chǎn)能擴(kuò)張計(jì)劃。兩期北部油田擴(kuò)建項(xiàng)目將使卡塔爾液化天然氣產(chǎn)能從7700萬(wàn)噸/年增加到2027年的1.26億噸/年，增幅約64%。第一階段擴(kuò)建將包括到2025年將LNG產(chǎn)能從7700萬(wàn)噸/年擴(kuò)大到1.1億噸/年，而第二階段將在2027年將LNG產(chǎn)能擴(kuò)大到1.26億噸/年。

大多數(shù)GECF(天然氣出口國(guó)論壇)國(guó)家將在展望期間保持或擴(kuò)大天然氣產(chǎn)能。我們預(yù)計(jì)，目前GECF成員國(guó)的天然氣總產(chǎn)量將增加一半以上，到2050年將達(dá)到2.6萬(wàn)億立方米左右。這意味著在未來(lái)一段時(shí)間內(nèi)，GECF的年增長(zhǎng)率為1.4%，這將使其在全球天然氣產(chǎn)量中所占的份額保持在47%左右。

報(bào)告指出：“卡塔爾（24.2%）和尼日利亞（9.7%）預(yù)計(jì)將成為天然氣產(chǎn)量增加的最大貢獻(xiàn)者。阿爾及利亞預(yù)計(jì)將對(duì)非常規(guī)天然氣產(chǎn)量做出最大貢獻(xiàn)?！?/p>

作為第三大天然氣儲(chǔ)備國(guó)，卡塔爾一直在全球天然氣貿(mào)易中發(fā)揮著重要作用，這得益于其巨大的北方油田的持續(xù)和成功的勘探，以及對(duì)先進(jìn)的液化天然氣生產(chǎn)線的投資，并在相關(guān)技術(shù)方面采用了最佳做法。

卡塔爾的北部氣田形成了世界上最大的氣田之一?？ㄋ柺侨蜃畲蟮囊夯烊粴獬隹趪?guó)，年產(chǎn)量為7710萬(wàn)噸，占2020年全球液化天然氣產(chǎn)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.
