卡塔爾國有油氣公司（QatarEnergy）選擇殼牌作為其北部油氣田(NFS)液化天然氣(LNG)擴建項目的第二個國際合作伙伴，此前，道達爾能源成為該項目的第一個國際合作伙伴。

根據合作協議，殼牌將獲得該項目每年1600萬噸(Mtpa)項目的9.375%的參與權益，其中25%的權益可供國際合作伙伴使用，而卡塔爾國有油氣公司將持有剩余75%的權益。

卡塔爾能源事務國務部長、卡塔爾國有油氣公司總裁兼首席執行官Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi表示：“卡塔爾將向市場提供新的液化天然氣量，在最近地緣政治動蕩的背景下，天然氣變得更加重要，在滿足全球環境目標對更清潔能源的迫切需求中。鑒于全球不僅對能源安全日益關注，而且對務實的能源轉型以及公平和公平地獲得清潔能源也日益關注，這些數量是值得歡迎的。”

這是QatarEnergy第二次宣布NFS合作伙伴關系，第三個合作伙伴將在適當的時候宣布。

今年早些時候，殼牌作為一家合資公司25%的股東加入了北油田東部(NFE)的擴張。NFE投資287.5億美元，計劃在2025年底前投產。

Shell takes part in the next wave of Qatar’s LNG expansions

OFFSHOREENERGY 24 October 2022

Qatar’s state-owned oil and gas company QatarEnergy has selected Shell as its second international partner in the North Field South (NFS) liquefied natural gas (LNG) expansion project, following the selection of TotalEnergies as the first international partner in the project.

Under the partnership agreement, Shell will obtain a 9.375% participating interest in the 16 million tons per annum (Mtpa) project, out of the 25% interest available for international partners, while QatarEnergy will hold the remaining 75% interest.

Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, the Minister of State for Energy Affairs, President and CEO of QatarEnergy, said: “The new LNG volumes, which Qatar will bring to the market, come at a time when natural gas assumes greater importance in light of recent geopolitical turmoil, and amidst the dire need for cleaner energy to meet global environmental objectives.

These volumes are a welcome addition given the increasing global concern not just over energy security, but also over a pragmatic energy transition as well as fair and equitable access to cleaner energy.”

This is the second announcement for the NFS partnerships by QatarEnergy, with the third partner to be announced in due course.

Earlier this year, Shell joined the North Field East (NFE) expansion as a holder of a 25% share in a joint venture company. A $28.75 billion investment, NFE is to start production before the end of 2025.
