Qatar Plans Major LNG Capacity Expansion to 142 Million Tonnes Per Year By 2030 Despite Lower Gas Prices

Qatar plans to further increase its liquefied natural gas (LNG) production capacity to 142 million tonnes per year by 2030, despite lower global gas prices
This latest expansion comes amid fierce competition between Qatar and other major gas exporters like the United States
Qatar believes demand for gas will continue growing, especially in Asia, for at least 50 more years
The new expansion will add 16 million tonnes per year through constructing 2 additional LNG trains
Qatar will begin preliminary engineering studies for the expansion without partners initially, and decide on partnerships later
