QatarEnergy preparing for LNG production startup
QatarEnergy is preparing to restart liquefied natural gas (LNG) production, two sources with knowledge of the matter said on Wednesday.
In March, QatarEnergy halted production of LNG and associated products due to military attacks on facilities in Ras Laffan and Mesaieed.
The company has restarted two out of three trains at QELNG North 1 (Qatargas-1), one of the sources said. QELNG North 1 is Qatar's first-ever LNG project and is located in Ras Laffan Industrial City. The facility includes three conventional liquefaction trains with a combined capacity of approximately 10 metric MMtpy of LNG.
A return to full production is tied to ships being able to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
The Iranian navy threatened ships attempting to pass through the strait without Tehran's permission, adding that transit through the waterway remained shut, according to several shipping sources.
