LNG

Feb 24 (LNGJ) - RasGas Co., the world’s second-largest LNG production company after Qatargas, has reached a landmark in delivering its 5,000th cargo of helium gas from its plant in the Gulf. Helium, in addition to being known as a laughing gas, has high-value applications in science, medicine and high-tech industries. RasGas’s Chief Marketing and Shipping Officer, Khalid Sultan R. Al Kuwari, said: “Qatar has key advantages as one of the most prominent helium exporters. Our liquefied natural gas, and thus helium, is derived from multiple upstream projects. Our multiple LNG trains and two helium plants make Qatar uniquely flexible in our production capabilities.”
