據(jù)天然氣加工新聞網(wǎng)2022年6月7日?qǐng)?bào)道，知情人士周二表示，卡塔爾已選擇埃克森美孚公司、道達(dá)爾能源公司、殼牌公司和康菲公司作為其全球最大液化天然氣（LNG）擴(kuò)建項(xiàng)目的合作伙伴。  

到2027年前，卡塔爾北部油田的擴(kuò)建將使卡塔爾的LNG產(chǎn)量增加64%，這將鞏固其作為世界最大LNG出口國(guó)的地位，并有助于確保對(duì)歐洲的天然氣長(zhǎng)期供應(yīng)。 

國(guó)有卡塔爾能源公司（QE）決定獨(dú)自做出開(kāi)發(fā)北部油田300億美元擴(kuò)建項(xiàng)目的最終投資決定，并開(kāi)始招標(biāo)以尋求合作伙伴分擔(dān)擴(kuò)建項(xiàng)目開(kāi)發(fā)的財(cái)務(wù)風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。  

這4家已經(jīng)是卡塔爾現(xiàn)有LNG生產(chǎn)一部分的石油巨頭與新參與者雪佛龍公司和意大利埃尼公司在去年5月提交了報(bào)價(jià)。  

知情人士證實(shí)，埃克森美孚公司和道達(dá)爾能源公司是贏家之一，一名消息人士稱(chēng)，殼牌公司和康菲公司將參與這個(gè)項(xiàng)目。 

埃克森美孚公司、道達(dá)爾能源公司和康菲公司拒絕置評(píng)。 QE、雪佛龍公司、殼牌公司和埃尼公司沒(méi)有立即回復(fù)置評(píng)請(qǐng)求。  

一位消息人士稱(chēng)，雖然已經(jīng)做出決定，但正式宣布中標(biāo)者名單可能要到本月晚些時(shí)候才會(huì)公布。 埃克森美孚公司首席執(zhí)行官達(dá)倫·伍茲將在6月晚些時(shí)候出席一個(gè)與量化寬松有關(guān)的能源會(huì)議。  

QE表示將在6月12日舉行新聞發(fā)布會(huì)和簽字儀式，但沒(méi)有說(shuō)明具體內(nèi)容。據(jù)一位消息人士透露，這4家石油巨頭預(yù)計(jì)將在新項(xiàng)目中占大約20%-25%的份額，這比他們?cè)诋?dāng)前項(xiàng)目中占25%-35%的份額要小。

北部油田擴(kuò)建計(jì)劃包括新建6條LNG生產(chǎn)線，這將使卡塔爾的液化能力從每年7700萬(wàn)噸提高到2027年的1.26億噸。

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.
