Sept 27 (LNG) - Qatar Petroleum said its decision first made last year to increase production capacity at the Ras Laffan complex from the current 77 million tonnes per annum would now include a fourth liquefaction Train to take total output to 110 MTPA, an increase of 43 percent. “Qatar Petroleum has embarked on a project to develop additional gas from the North Field and build three new LNG mega-trains. Based on the good results obtained through recent additional appraisal and testing, we have decided to add a fourth LNG mega-train and include it in the ongoing front-end engineering of the project,” said Qatar Petroleum President and Chief Executive, Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi. “When the project is completed and all four new trains are online, Qatar's LNG production capacity will reach 110 MTPA. This will increase Qatar's total production capacity from 4.8 to 6.2 million barrels of oil equivalent per day,” added Al-Kaabi.
