Qatar Energy has officially broken ground on the North Field expansion project, aiming to increase Qatar's LNG production capacity from 77 Mt/year to 126 Mt/year by 2026. This expansion project consists of six trains, with each producing 8 Mt/year of LNG. The project will also produce about 200,000 bbl/d of LPG (propane and butane), and about 450,000 bbl/d of condensates. First construction works started in October 2021.
Four of these trains are part of the North Field East expansion (32 Mt/year), while the remaining two are part of the North Field South expansion (16 Mt/year), contributing a total of 48 Mt/year to the global LNG supply. QatarEnergy is partnering for the project with TotalEnergies, Shell, ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil, Eni, Sinopec, and CNPC.
