石油设备网讯 据普氏能源资讯4月23日迪拜报道，卡塔尔石油公司周一表示已发出招标，要求建造100多艘液化天然气船，以帮助实现预计到2024年每年产量增加至1.1亿公吨，而现在为7700万吨/年。
此次招标还包括海洋液化天然气公司的承购协议的运输要求，该公司与埃克森美孚的卡塔尔石油公司合资企业来自美国的黄金通道码头，该公司正在建设中，将于2024年完工。
运输招标还包括替换卡塔尔石油公司现有液化天然气船队的选项，其中包括45艘Q-flex和Q-Max船舶。
“通过这一重大举措，卡塔尔石油公司正着手进行另一项主要的液化天然气造船活动，预计最初将交付60艘液化天然气运输船，以支持计划的产量扩张，未来十年可能超过100艘新的液化天然气运输船，能源事务国和卡塔尔石油公司首席执行官Saad a-Kaabi在一份声明中说,“这一重要举措加强了卡塔尔石油公司在任何时候和任何情况下作为安全可靠的液化天然气生产商的全球声誉的承诺。”
卡塔尔计划开发其与热点国家共有的全球最大天然气田——海上北方气田(offshore North Field)，以提振液化天然气出口。此前，卡塔尔在2017年解除了该气田12年的开发禁令。
本月早些时候，卡塔尔石油公司(Qatar Petroleum)对North油田扩建项目的工程、采购和建设合同进行了招标。
该招标包由三个EPC财团组成:一个财团由日本千代田公司(Chiyoda Corporation)和法国德西尼布(Technip)组成，另一个财团由日本JGC公司(JGC Corporation)和韩国现代工程建设公司(Hyundai Engineering & Construction)组成，第三个财团由意大利赛培姆(Saipem)、中东麦克德莫特(McDermott)组成。
EPC合同包括建造4列新的液化天然气巨型列车，还可以生产液化石油气、一家氦气工厂和配套基础设施。该合同计划于2020年1月授予。
卡塔尔石油公司(Qatar Petroleum)今年2月同意在德克萨斯州修建Golden Pass液化天然气出口终端，产能可达1,600万吨/年，成本超过100亿美元。

Qatar to start construction program for 100-plus LNG ships for 2024 output target
Qatar Petroleum said Monday it has issued an invitation to tender for the construction of more than 100 LNG vessels to help meet its expected output increase to 110 million mt a year by 2024 from 77 million mt/year now.
The tender also includes shipping requirements for the offtake agreement of Ocean LNG, the Qatar Petroleum joint venture with ExxonMobil, from the Golden Pass terminal in the US, which is under construction and will be completed by 2024.
The shipping tender also includes options for replacing Qatar Petroleum's existing LNG fleet, which include 45 Q-flex and Q-Max ships.
"With this significant step, Qatar Petroleum is embarking on another major LNG ship-building campaign expected to initially deliver 60 LNG carriers in support of the planned production expansion, with a potential to exceed 100 new LNG carriers over the next decade," Minister of State for Energy Affairs and Qatar Petroleum CEO Saad a-Kaabi said in a statement. "This important initiative reinforces Qatar Petroleum's commitment to its global reputation as a safe and reliable LNG producer at all times and under all circumstances."
Qatar plans to tap its offshore North Field, the world's largest gas field which it shares with one certain country, to boost its LNG exports after lifting a 12-year moratorium on the development of the field in 2017.
Earlier this month, Qatar Petroleum invited bids for an engineering, procurement and construction contract for the North Field Expansion project.
The tender package was issued to three EPC consortiums: one comprising Japan's Chiyoda Corporation and France's Technip, another comprising Japan's JGC Corporation and South Korea's Hyundai Engineering & Construction, and a third comprising Italy's Saipem, McDermott Middle East.
The EPC contract includes building four new LNG mega-trains, which can also produce LPG, a helium plant and supporting infrastructure. The contract is scheduled to be awarded in January 2020.
Qatar Petroleum agreed in February to build the Golden Pass LNG export terminal in Texas with a capacity to produce up to 16 million mt/year at a cost of over $10 billion.
