Background
Qatargas and Rasgas initially operated Qatar's LNG production facilities. However, at the end of 2016 Qatar announced to merge its state-owned natural gas firms, Qatargas and Rasgas into a unique global energy operator, Qatargas, in order to cut costs.[11] State-owned Qatar Petroleum (now QatarEnergy) owns a majority stake in the integrated company. A consortium including Qatar Petroleum (now QatarEnergy), ExxonMobil, Total, Mitsui, Marubeni, ConocoPhillips and Royal Dutch Shell owns Qatargas.[12] Qatargas (now QatarEnergy) is the largest LNG producer in the world.[13]
In 2023, Qatargas rebranded to QatarEnergy, and the legacy projects previously belonging to Qatargas and Rasgas were renamed variations of QatarEnergy LNG (N) for those originally owned by Qatargas, and variations of QatarEnergy LNG (S) for those originally owned by Rasgas.[14]
S(1) T1-2
QatarEnergy LNG S(1) was originally established as Rasgas 1 with first LNG cargo being delivered in 1999. The project includes Train 1 and Train 2, each with a capacity of 3.3 mtpa. The trains also produce 44,000 barrels of stabilized field condensate per day in addition to 4,000 barrels of plant condensate and 200 tons of granulated sulphur per day.[15]
S(2) T3-5
QatarEnergy LNG S(2) was originally established as Rasgas 2 with first LNG cargo being delivered in 2004. The project includes Train 3, Train 4 and Train 4, each with a capacity of 4.7 mtpa. The trains also produce 90,000 barrels of gas condensate per day in addition to 900 tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas and 1300 tons of butane and propane per day. Train 4 was the first LNG train to be developed with acid-gas injection facilities in an effort to reduce sulphur production. Train 3 was considered one of the most optimized LNG trains ever built thanks to helper motors, reconfigured refrigerant compressors, a new gas-treating technology and a hydraulic turbine.[15]
S(3) T6-7
QatarEnergy LNG S(3) was originally established as Rasgas 3 with first LNG cargo being delivered in 2009. The project includes Train 6 and Train 7, each with a capacity of 7.8 mtpa. The trains also produce 110,000 barrels of condensate per day in addition to 1.5 mtpa of liquefied petroleum gas.[15]
