Qatari LNG project will boost output

It was a time for superlatives at the inauguration ceremony for Qatar’s biggest gas-export development.

The US$13.2 billion (Dh48.48bn) Qatargas 2 project included building three unmanned offshore platforms for extracting gas from the world’s biggest gasfield, and the two largest production “trains” ever built for producing supercooled liquefied natural gas (LNG).

It also included a fleet of 14 LNG supertankers from Korea, the biggest such ships ever built, and Europe’s largest LNG receiving terminal, at Milford Haven in Wales.
“This is an important day for the LNG industry and the state of Qatar,” said Abdullah al Attiyah, the Qatari deputy prime minister and minister of energy and industry.
