原标题：卡塔尔将耗资500亿美元提天然气升液化能力

中国石化新闻网讯 据油气技术3月2日消息称，据雷斯塔能源的估计，卡塔尔将其液化能力从目前的7700万吨/年提高至1.26亿吨/年的雄心，可能会花费超过500亿美元的新建投资，以进一步开发大型的北部油田。

该项目的第一阶段预计耗资约350亿美元，预计将在今年得到批准。然而，雷斯塔能源目前估计，该项目更有可能在2021年上半年获得批准。

扩建的第一阶段包括相关的陆上液化和储存设施合同。正在进行的投标包括建造四条液化天然气生产线、公用设施和场外设施、一个氦气回收装置、非技术建筑、仓库、车间和相关设施。第二阶段的扩张很可能最早在2023年得到批准。

由于天然气价格较低，运营商卡塔尔石油公司正在重新评估其北油田扩建(NFE)项目的商业前景，然后再与国际合作伙伴接洽。此外，液化设施的商业投标截止日期已延长至2020年第二季度。

考虑到该项目预计将推迟获得正式批准，雷斯塔能源下调了对中东地区资本支出总额的预测，预计今年该地区将获得213亿美元的投资，而此前的预测为560多亿美元。

雷斯塔能源估计，在阿联酋，到2020年，新天然气项目的批准将达到125亿美元。

在沙特阿拉伯，该公司估计，批准推迟的Zuluf油田扩建项目(该项目的目标是约50亿桶油当量)，可能需要超过100亿美元的投资，预计将在2022年初获得批准。

Qatar’s liquefaction capacity push to cost US$50 billion

Qatar’s ambition to raise its liquefaction capacity from the current 77 million tpy to 126 million tpy is likely to cost more than US$50 billion in greenfield investments in additional development of the giant North Field, according to estimates by Rystad Energy.

The first stage of the project, estimated to cost about US$35 billion, was expected to be sanctioned this year. However, Rystad Energy now estimates that it is more likely to be approved in the first half of 2021.

The expansion’s first phase includes contracts for associated onshore liquefaction and storage facilities. Tenders in play include construction of four LNG trains, utilities and offsite facilities, a helium recovery unit, non-technical buildings, warehouses, workshops, and associated facilities. The second stage of the expansion is likely to get the green light at the earliest by 2023.

Operator Qatar Petroleum is re-evaluating the commercial outlook of its North Field Expansion (NFE) project due to low gas prices before reaching out to international partners. Furthermore, the commercial bid deadline for liquefaction facilities has been extended to 2Q20.

Given the anticipated delays in formal sanctioning of the project, Rystad Energy has lowered its total forecast for capital expenditure in the Middle East, predicting about US$21.3 billion of investments will get the go-ahead in the region this year, versus the previous estimate of more than US$56 billion.

In the UAE, Rystad Energy estimates that sanctioning of new gas projects in 2020 will amount to US$12.5 billion.

In Saudi Arabia the company estimates that the sanctioning of the delayed Zuluf oil field expansion, a project targeting some 5 billion boe, will likely cost more than US$10 billion in investments and is forecast to get the green light in early 2022.
