In The Pipeline: No bubble in Qatar gas projects

Qatar is to be congratulated on the 10th anniversary of liquefied natural gas exports (LNG), which coincided with the commissioning of the 6th LNG train, often described as "mega train", being the largest gas processing train in the world at 7.8 million tonnes a year of LNG product.

The train went into production successfully at the end of July 2009. There are three similar trains under construction and all expected to be commissioned in 2010 that will give Qatar a total capacity of about 77 million tonnes a year and make it the largest LNG exporter in the world.

All these projects were decided many years ago at a time when the outlook for natural gas demand was so bright.
