Ras Laffan 3 LNG train 7 commences production
25 February 2010: The Ras Laffan 3 liquefied natural gas (LNG) train 7 has commenced production at Ras Laffan Industrial City.
Ras Laffan Liquefied Natural Gas Company (3) (Ras Laffan 3) is a JV between Qatar Petroleum (70 percent) and ExxonMobil (30 percent). The project represents another expansion of LNG production facilities operated by RasGas Company Limited (RasGas).
With 7.8 million tpa of LNG, the Ras Laffan 3 train 7 matches the capacity of Ras Laffan 3 train 6, one of the largest operating LNG production facilities in the world, inaugurated in October 2009. These mega facilities have sufficient scale to competitively reach markets around the globe.
Train 7 is one of a new generation of 'mega-trains', a big step up from the 4.7mta production capacity of RasGas trains 3, 4 and 5.
