$13bn project boosts Qatar’s LNG position

Qatar will consolidate its position as the leader in the global LNG industry with the inauguration of the $13.2bn Qatargas 2 - the world’s first fully integrated value chain liquefied natural gas venture at Ras Laffan on April 6.
HH the Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani will inaugurate the Qatargas 2 facility, which consists mainly of two world’s largest LNG trains with 7.8mn tonnes per year (tpy) capacity each.
The two Qatargas trains – Train 4 and Train 5 - will supply LNG to the South Hook terminal in Wales, the UK, which has an annual regasification capacity of 16mn tpy.
The terminal, jointly set up by Qatar Petroleum, ExxonMobil and Total, will be inaugurated by HH the Emir and Britain’s Queen Elizabeth on May 12.
Qatargas 2 is large enough to meet about 20% of the UK’s natural gas needs, Qatargas Operating Company CEO Faisal M al-Suwaidi said.
The owners of Qatargas Train 4 are Qatar Petroleum (70%) and ExxonMobil (30%) and Train 5 are Qatar Petroleum (65%), ExxonMobil (18.3%) and Total (16.7%). The first LNG cargo from Qatargas 2 will reach South Hook in May.
On an average, one LNG cargo will be dispatched to the UK from Qatargas 2 every three days.
Al-Suwaidi said that about 2.9bn cubic feet of gas a day was required to produce 15.6mn tonnes of LNG a year from Qatargas 2.
All 14 LNG ships meant for the Qatargas 2 project have been delivered by South Korean builders. They are a mix of eight Q-Flex and six Q-Max ships.
The LNG vessels were built at South Korean yards, which are owned by Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering, Samsung Heavy Industries and Hyundai Heavy Industries. The 14th LNG vessel was delivered to Qatargas 2 in South Korea recently.
Al-Suwaidi called Qatargas 2 a “huge” project, which will also be the world’s first fully integrated value chain LNG venture. The key components of the project are the two world’s largest LNG trains and associated facilities at Ras Laffan, a fleet comprising 14 super LNG tankers and the regasification facility at Wales in the United Kingdom.
He said Qatargas was well on course to achieve a production capacity of about 42mn tpy within two to three years.
Qatargas 2 will produce 15.6mn tpy, Qatargas 3 – 7.8mn tpy and Qatargas 4 – 7.8mn tpy.
Qatargas 3 and Qatargas 4 will supply to markets in Europe, the US and the UK. Qatargas 1 already supplies to Japan and Spain from three trains of 3.3mn tpy each. The first-ever LNG cargo from Qatar and Qatargas was dispatched to Japan in 1996.
Currently, Qatargas supplies LNG to eight companies in Japan. Several of these are power and gas utility firms, which supply to the wholesale markets and domestic users in Japan.
Besides LNG, Qatargas produces condensate and sulphur. Natural gas is increasingly becoming the ‘fuel of choice’ for customers around the world due to its clean burning and lower emission qualities.

what about this, isn't it clear that he's saying "Qtel and Vodafone can communicate with each other."
Vodafone, Qtel clinch key accords

Qatar’s two telecom service providers – Qtel and Vodafone - have signed two major agreements to share mobile towers and enable their customers to communicate with each other.
The ‘Outdoor Site Sharing Agreement’, the first one of its kind in the region, allows Qtel and Vodafone Qatar to share each other’s mobile towers.
Both companies will have separate active mobile networks.
The ‘Interconnection Agreement’ is a wholesale deal, which allows customers of Qtel and Vodafone Qatar to communicate with each other.
The two agreements for outdoor site sharing and interconnection were bilaterally negotiated and officially signed in Doha by Qtel Group CEO Dr Nasser Marafih and Vodafone Qatar CEO Grahame Maher.
Outdoor site sharing is ‘particularly significant’ because it is the first time in the region that it has been agreed upon. Site sharing between an incumbent and a second operator before full commercial launch is rarely seen in the global telecom landscape as well.
By sharing sites, the two companies will both be able to provide extensive mobile network coverage, to streamline costs and reduce environmental and community impact by avoiding the unnecessary duplication of towers across Qatar.
Dr Marafih said, “Qtel has long supported competition within Qatar’s communications sector, as we believe that it will highlight the world class service that Qtel provides to its customers who are at the heart of everything we do. These agreements – which have been mutually supported as fair and equitable – are a concrete demonstration of the fact that Qtel welcomes competition.
“Under the agreement on outdoor site sharing, we expect Qtel will share more than half of Qtel’s mobile network towers.”
Maher said, “Vodafone Qatar is delighted to have signed these two important agreements with Qtel. Interconnection enables Vodafone Qatar customers, who number 1000 now, to communicate with Qtel customers. Outdoor site sharing is consistent with Vodafone Qatar bringing leading international practice to Qatar to ensure that both of us provide national mobile network coverage and support the environment by reducing unnecessary duplication of towers.”
Vodafone Qatar said it believes the signing of the two agreements will be the ‘start of an important partnership’ at the wholesale level with Qtel..
