据天然气加工新闻网2022年6月7日报道,知情人士周二表示,卡塔尔已选择埃克森美孚公司、道达尔能源公司、壳牌公司和康菲公司作为其全球最大液化天然气(LNG)扩建项目的合作伙伴。
到2027年前,卡塔尔北部油田的扩建将使卡塔尔的LNG产量增加64%,这将巩固其作为世界最大LNG出口国的地位,并有助于确保对欧洲的天然气长期供应。
国有卡塔尔能源公司(QE)决定独自做出开发北部油田300亿美元扩建项目的最终投资决定,并开始招标以寻求合作伙伴分担扩建项目开发的财务风险。
这4家已经是卡塔尔现有LNG生产一部分的石油巨头与新参与者雪佛龙公司和意大利埃尼公司在去年5月提交了报价。
知情人士证实,埃克森美孚公司和道达尔能源公司是赢家之一,一名消息人士称,壳牌公司和康菲公司将参与这个项目。
埃克森美孚公司、道达尔能源公司和康菲公司拒绝置评。 QE、雪佛龙公司、壳牌公司和埃尼公司没有立即回复置评请求。
一位消息人士称,虽然已经做出决定,但正式宣布中标者名单可能要到本月晚些时候才会公布。 埃克森美孚公司首席执行官达伦·伍兹将在6月晚些时候出席一个与量化宽松有关的能源会议。
QE表示将在6月12日举行新闻发布会和签字仪式,但没有说明具体内容。据一位消息人士透露,这4家石油巨头预计将在新项目中占大约20%-25%的份额,这比他们在当前项目中占25%-35%的份额要小。
北部油田扩建计划包括新建6条LNG生产线,这将使卡塔尔的液化能力从每年7700万吨提高到2027年的1.26亿吨。

Qatar picks Exxon, Total, Shell, Conoco for mega-LNG expansion
Qatar has picked Exxon Mobil Corp, TotalEnergies SE, Royal Dutch Shell and ConocoPhillips as partners in the expansion of the world's largest LNG project, people with knowledge of the matter said on Tuesday.
The North Field expansion will boost Qatar's LNG output by 64% by 2027, strengthening its position as the world's top LNG exporter and help to guarantee long term supply of gas to Europe.
State-owned Qatar Energy (QE) had decided to make a final investment decision alone to develop the $30 billion North Field expansion project, but opened a bid to seek partners to share the financial risk of the development.
The four companies, which already are part of Qatar's existing LNG production, submitted bids in May 2021 together with new entrants Chevron Corp and Italy's Eni.
Four people confirmed Exxon and Total were among the winners, while one source said Shell and Conoco will participate in the project.
Exxon, Total and ConocoPhillips declined to comment. QE, Chevron, Shell and Eni did not immediately reply a request for comment.
Although a decision has been made, a formal announcement with the winners might not be made until later this month, one of the sources said. Exxon Chief Executive Darren Woods will attend an energy conference with QE later in June.
QE said it will hold a press conference and a signing ceremony on June 12, without specifying the subject.
The four oil majors are expected to have around 20%-25% in total of the offtake of the new project, one of the sources said - proportionally a smaller stake than their share in current projects, which ranges between 25%-35%.
The North Field Expansion (NFE) plan includes six LNG trains that will ramp up Qatar’s liquefaction capacity from 77 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) to 126 mtpa by 2027.
