The Ras Laffan Liquefied Natural Gas Company Limited was established in 1993 to produce LNG and related products from a designated area within the North Field, the largest offshore non-associated natural gas field in the world.
Two onshore LNG trains have been constructed to manufacture 6.6 million tons of LNG per year, together with 45,000 barrels per day of condensate and 300 tons per day of solid sulphur.
The Company has drilled 15 offshore wells on three platforms capable of producing more than 1.1 billion standard cubic feet of gas per day.
Ras Laffan Liquefied Natural Gas Company Limited (II) was established in 2001 by Qatar Petroleum (70%) and ExxonMobil (30%).
Train 3 was commissioned in the first quarter of 2004.
Train 4 is scheduled for start up in the fourth quarter of 2005 and Train 5 is scheduled for start up in 2007.
Each new train is rated for 4.78 mtpa.
New offshore wells, the largest producing wells in the industry, are also being drilled.
