據世界天然氣網4月8日消息 卡塔爾石油公司將液化天然氣出口項目的開工時間推遲至2025年，因為該公司面臨招標過程的延誤。

卡塔爾石油公司總裁兼首席執行官、能源事務國務部長Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi在接受路透社采訪時表示，該項目的規模保持不變。這意味著一旦擴建工程完成產能將達到1.1億噸。

從最初計劃的2024年開始推遲生產。然而，預計處理北場東部項目一期工程的承包商正在受到冠狀病毒的影響。

卡塔爾石油公司預計本月將收到6條生產線擴建項目前4條液化生產線承包商的最終投標。相反，它收到了承包商的請求，要求有更多的時間提交投標書。

因此，陸上工程、采購和施工的最終主合同預計將在今年第四季度授予。這也將推動預計投產3-6個月。

另外兩條生產線將在擴建項目的第二階段建造，到2027年，卡塔爾的生產能力將提高到1.26億噸/年。

Qatar delays LNG expansion project start-up to 2025

Qatar Petroleum has delayed the production start from its LNG export project to 2025 as it faces bidding process delays.

Speaking to Reuters, Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, the Minister of State for Energy Affairs, the president and CEO of Qatar Petroleum, said the size of the project remains the same. This means the production capacity, once the expansion project is complete will hit 110 million tons.

The production start has been pushed back from the initially planned 2024. However, the effects of Coronavirus are being felt by contractors expected to tackle the first phase of the North Field East project.

Qatar Petroleum expected to receive final bids from contractors for the first four liquefaction trains of the six-train expansion project during this month. Instead, it received requests from contractors seeking more time to submit bids.

As a result, final main contracts for onshore engineering, procurement and construction are expected to be awarded in the fourth quarter of this year. This will also push the expected production start by three to six months.

The additional two trains, which will be constructed in phase two of the expansion project will boost Qatar’s production capacity to 126 mtpa by 2027.
