卡塔尔将LNG扩建项目开工时间推迟至2025年

据世界天然气网4月8日消息 卡塔尔石油公司将液化天然气出口项目的开工时间推迟至2025年，因为该公司面临招标过程的延误。

卡塔尔石油公司总裁兼首席执行官、能源事务国务部长Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi在接受路透社采访时表示，该项目的规模保持不变。这意味着一旦扩建工程完成产能将达到1.1亿吨。

从最初计划的2024年开始推迟生产。然而，预计处理北场东部项目一期工程的承包商正在受到冠状病毒的影响。

卡塔尔石油公司预计本月将收到6条生产线扩建项目前4条液化生产线承包商的最终投标。相反，它收到了承包商的请求，要求有更多的时间提交投标书。

因此，陆上工程、采购和施工的最终主合同预计将在今年第四季度授予。这也将推动预计投产3-6个月。

另外两条生产线将在扩建项目的第二阶段建造，到2027年，卡塔尔的生产能力将提高到1.26亿吨/年。

Qatar delays LNG expansion project start-up to 2025

Qatar Petroleum has delayed the production start from its LNG export project to 2025 as it faces bidding process delays.

Speaking to Reuters, Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, the Minister of State for Energy Affairs, the president and CEO of Qatar Petroleum, said the size of the project remains the same. This means the production capacity, once the expansion project is complete will hit 110 million tons.

The production start has been pushed back from the initially planned 2024. However, the effects of Coronavirus are being felt by contractors expected to tackle the first phase of the North Field East project.

Qatar Petroleum expected to receive final bids from contractors for the first four liquefaction trains of the six-train expansion project during this month. Instead, it received requests from contractors seeking more time to submit bids.

As a result, final main contracts for onshore engineering, procurement and construction are expected to be awarded in the fourth quarter of this year. This will also push the expected production start by three to six months.

The additional two trains, which will be constructed in phase two of the expansion project will boost Qatar’s production capacity to 126 mtpa by 2027.
