The ArtawiGas25 facility, which is part of the gas growth integrated project, will process 50 million cubic feet per day (Mcf/d) of gas previously flared
The ships, which will be built at China’s Hudong-Zhonghua shipyard, are the largest LNG vessels ever built, with a capacity of 271,000 cubic metres each
Under the 15-year time-charter party agreements, Nakilat will charter out the vessels to affiliates of QatarEnergy, facilitating the seamless transportation of LNG to key destinations worldwide
Along with LNG, the North Field expansion project will produce 6,500 tonnes per day of ethane gas, which will be used as feedstock in petrochemical industries
The energy project aims to recover flared gas on three oil fields in order to supply power plants and build a seawater treatment plant to increase oil production
