SALES GAS (Local
& Export) |
Al-
Khaleej Gas Project (AKG)
The project will develop reserves from the North Field
to supply 1.75 BSCFD of sales gas to the domestic
consumers and gas export market. The project will also
produce condensate, ethane, LPG and sulphur. The project
will enhance the diversification policy of the North
Field gas utilization and maximize the utilization of
the existing gas infrastructure. It will enhance the LNG
economics of Trains 1 and 2 of RasGas through production
from K-1 to K-4 reservoirs. It is also designed to
accommodate the fractionation requirements of LNG 4 as
well.
The AKG Development and Production Sharing Agreement (DPSA)
was signed with ExxonMobil on 2 May 2000 and ratified on
12 July 2000 by an Emiri Decree.
The EPC for AKG Phase 1 was awarded in March 2003 with
first commercial gas scheduled for November 2005. This
phase will supply 744 MMSCFD of sales gas to Ras Laffan
IPP, Oryx GTL and to industries in Mesaieed area. All
required gas sales agreements have been concluded.
QP will install a new 36� lean gas pipeline to supply
Mesaieed industrial area with 240 MMSCFD initially. The
design capacity of the pipeline is 1,000 MMSCFD.
Dolphin
Project
 The
Dolphin Project entails development of reserves from the
North Field for the production of wellhead gas
sufficient to export lean gas at a rate of 2 BSCFD to
the United Arab Emirates. It is the first gas pipeline
project between the GCC countries. The project includes
processing of gas at Ras Laffan to strip out condensate,
ethane, LPG and sulphur. The sweet lean gas will be
delivered to UAE through a sub-sea pipeline.
The Full Field Development Plan (FFDP) was signed on 11
December 2003 according to the Development and
Production Sharing Agreement (DPSA) dated 23 December
2001. The main EPC contractor has been selected and the
related contract was signed in January 2004. First
delivery of gas is scheduled for the fourth quarter
2006. The shareholders on UAE side are the UAE�s Offset
Group, Total of France and Occidental Petroleum of the
USA.
Qatar/Kuwait Gas
Supply Project
The purpose of this Project is to export sweet lean gas
to Kuwait on a long-term basis from the AKG project.
A protocol
for gas Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA) between QP and
KPC was signed on 30 January 2002 concurrently with the
signature of a Term Sheet between QP, ExxonMobil and KPC
outlining the commercial terms relating to the SPA. The
project development will start after the conclusion of
intergovernmental agreement between the transit
countries and other necessary agreements.
Gas Export Project to Pakistan
The project will develop North Field gas from an area to
be dedicated to the project to produce and export 1.25
bscf/d to Pakistan through a sub-sea pipeline.
A Heads of Agreement (HOA) between QP and Crescent
Petroleum Company was signed on February 15, 2000.
Negotiations with Crescent regarding the Development and
Fiscal Agreement (DFA) are at an advanced stage and it
is expected to sign the DFA during the 1st half of 2003.
RasGas LNG 3, 4 & 5
Two new trains, LNG 3 & LNG 4 will be installed in
RasGas site, the first of which was commissioned early
2004, the second train will be commissioned in 2005;
each train is sized for 4.78 MMTA. The scope of this
project is to produce about 1.5 BSCFD of gas for LNG
export to India (Petronet) and Italy.
This is the first K1-K4 integrated development project
in the North Field. LNG 3 will produce rich LNG while
LNG 4 will produce lean LNG. The LPG recovery and
fractionation for LNG 4 will be integrated with the AKG
project, which will have great cost savings impact on
both activities.
The EPC contract for Train 5 was awarded to a consortium
comprising Chiyoda and Snamprogetti in July 2004 and
will be located next to Train 3 & 4, also executed by
the same JV. Production is scheduled to commence in
early 2007.
RasGas
LNG 6 & 7
Heads of Agreement (HOA) was signed with ExxonMobil on
16 October 2003 to develop 2.9 BSCFD of North Field gas
from the contract location which was assigned to RasGas
Expansion Projects. This project is targeting the US
market with two trains each sized for 7.8 MMTA.
Shareholders are ExxonMobil and QP at 30% and 70% equity
respectively; design of the trains will be identical to
Qatargas II train design, which is in an advanced stage.
Since the trains will be located within RasGas� plot,
synergies will be maximized to reduce the capital cost.
Target commissioning of LNG 6 is May 2008 and LNG 7 will
follow with a 1-2 year interval.
Qatargas
II Project
Target is to install two 7.8 MMTA LNG trains for export
to the UK market by 2007 and 2009 respectively. Pre-FEED
completed in 2002. FEED started in June 2003 and
drilling of data and appraisal wells commenced in May
2004.
The two trains, LNG 4 & 5, will be installed in the
existing Qatargas plot and will benefit from the
existing infrastructure. Three wellhead platforms and
two 36� pipelines are envisaged to produce 2.8 BSCFD of
gas and the associated condensate and transport the
total produced fluids to Ras Laffan onshore plant in a
wet scheme. Between 16 and 18 LNG carriers will be built
to support shipping of the lean LNG to a dedicated UK
terminal.
Qatargas
III Project
Heads of
Agreement (HoA) was signed with ConocoPhillips on 11
July 2003 to develop 1.4 BSCFD of North Field gas and
install an LNG train sized 7.5 MMTA within Qatargas�
plot. The proposed train will benefit from Qatargas II
studies and will have synergy, to the maximum possible
extent, with Qatargas II project, including joint EPC
contracting, joint drilling and joint procurement of the
shipping fleet. The project is currently in the
feasibility study stage with a target commissioning by
mid 2009.
Qatar Petroleum is
actively pursuing a number of world-scale gas-to-liquids
conversion projects for the production of synthetic
fuels and base oil stocks. The projects are all
integrated with offshore development to supply the large
amounts of gas needed for these projects. These are
active business opportunities that are being pursued,
but the status of each of the projects is still at the
preliminary stage. A brief summary for each project is
given.
 Oryx
GTL Project
All major project agreements have
been signed with the relevant parties. Oryx GTL Ltd. was
established at the end of January 2003 as a JV company
between Qatar Petroleum (51%) and Sasol (49%). The
design capacity of the project is 34,000 BPD of
gas-to-liquid fuel. The EPC contract was awarded to
Technip and the 33-month contract is being executed from
their Rome office. The project reached financial close
on 18 March 2003 with EPC contract effective from 19
March 2003.
His Highness Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad
Al Thani, the Heir Apparent, on 7 December 2003 laid the
Foundation Stone for the Middle East�s first
gas-to-liquids plant.
The GTL plant will be ready for
start-up in December 2005 and first product will enter
the international market during the second quarter of
2006.
QP and Sasol
Chevron have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
for the ORYX GTL Expansion project and have discussed
the technical and business principles that will support
the planned increase in the output of the foundation
plant to 100,000 bbl/day. This will involve defining the
feasibility of a three (3) train, 65,000 bbl/day
facility with an expected start up by 2009.
Pearl GTL
Shell�s GTL is an integrated
project which will develop about 1.6 BSCFD of North
Field gas to produce approximately 140,000 BPD of
synthetic fuels and base oils. The project will be
developed in two phases with the first phase operational
in 2009, producing around 70,000 bpd of GTL products
with the second phase to be completed less than two
years later. Qatar Petroleum and Qatar Shell GTL Limited
(Shell) signed the Development and Production Sharing
Agreement
(DPSA) for Pearl GTL in July 2004.
The first of two appraisal wells in
the North Field were drilled in February 2004 and the
Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) contract was
awarded to JGC Inc. of Japan in March 2004.
Sasol Chevron
Sasol Chevron submitted a Project
Profile Proposal to QP in July 2002 for an integrated
upstream/downstream GTL project to produce 120,000 BPD
of GTL product in two phases. The project will produce
naphtha and diesel as the primary products. A Statement
of Intent was signed for this project in November 2002.
As part of its ongoing project
work, Sasol Chevron submitted a Scoping Study to QP in
June 2003. Progress has yet to be made on commercial
issues to enable further progress with the technical
development of the project.
Initial indications were for
startup of the project by 2010, but a revised startup
date will be produced when the next round of
negotiations with Sasol Chevron commences.
QP and Sasol Chevron have also
signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to examine GTL Base Oils
opportunities in Qatar.
QP and Sasol Chevron have agreed to
pursue the opportunity to develop a 130,000 bbl/day
upstream/downstream integrated GTL project based on the
Sasol Slurry Phase Distillate Process and utilizing
resources from the North Field. This will involve
defining the feasibility of a six (6) train facility
with an expected start up by 2010. These efforts will
lead to the establishment of a Heads of Agreement (HOA)
for the project.
ExxonMobil
ExxonMobil GTL project is for the
production of synthetic GTL products in excess of
150,000 BPD. Feedstock for the GTL Plant will be
provided from two wellhead platforms; approximately 1.8
BSCFD will be required to yield the target GTL
production. The project will produce base oil stocks in
addition to the synthetic fuels.
Onshore gas treatment and NGL
recovery plants will benefit, to the maximum extent
possible, from the existing RasGas infrastructure to
reduce the overall project cost. LPG, condensate and
sulphur storage/loading will most likely be shared with
other ongoing projects at Ras Laffan.
The HOA signed in July 2004
specifies the principal terms for the project that will
be defined in a Development and Production Sharing
Agreement (DPSA). The term of the DPSA will be 25 years
from the start of production, which is expected to
commence in 2011.
ExxonMobil will drill an appraisal
well for the GTL project in 2004, and will supplement
the extensive preliminary front-end engineering and
design (pre-FEED) undertaken earlier. FEED is expected
to begin upon execution of the DPSA.
Marathon
The Marathon GTL project will
produce approximately 120,000 BPD of naphtha and diesel.
The project will consist of two trains of equal
capacity. Phase I first commercial production is planned
for 2010. Offshore development is based on two unmanned
wellhead platforms and two wet scheme pipelines
configuration.
Marathon is considering introducing
shareholders to the project; shareholders will include
PetroCanada, Occidental and the Offset Group. Details
regarding the venture partners will probably be
concluded during 2004.
The project will be executed on a
Production Sharing Agreement basis. Marathon�s pre-FEED
work was completed during the last quarter of 2003 and
it is expected that commercial negotiations will
commence during early 2004.
ConocoPhillips
ConocoPhillips is planning to
develop its GTL project in two phases, each producing
approximately 80,000 BPD of GTL products - naphtha and
diesel using CoPOX technology. Two wellhead platforms
with adequate number of wells will provide the required
feedstock for the GTL plant.
The company completed a feasibility
study that was submitted to QP mid 2003. A Statement of
Intent to proceed with the project was signed with QP in
December 2003. The company intends to proceed with
pre-FEED work during 2004. Startup of the first phase of
the plant is scheduled for 2010. The project is
structured on the basis of a Production Sharing
Agreement, as with all other large-scale GTL projects.
The company has successfully
completed the construction of a 400 BPD semi-works plant
at its refinery in Ponca City, Oklahoma and
commissioning of the plant was well underway at the end
of December 2003. ConocoPhillips will demonstrate its
process during 2004 and it expects to be able to
commence commercial negotiations in 2004 also.

 $2.5bn
�Pearl of the Gulf� man-made island project set to take
off
By late 2006, the first of some 30,000 residents
should be living on a man-made island 350 meters off the
coast of Doha�s West Bay Lagoon.
The ambitious �Pearl of the Gulf� project was the
recent subject of a presentation to the Qatar Tourism
Authority (QTA), and features in its new project
development and investment opportunities newsletter.
Marketing is expected to begin next month.
The $2.5bn project is the brainchild of
United Development
Company (UDC), Qatar�s largest private-sector
shareholding company, and is being developed on a
fast-track basis with �full government support�, say
officials.
The master plan and environmental impact study have
apparently already received official approval, and a
financial advisor is to be appointed soon. It is
understood that detailed infrastructure and landscaping
design has already been tendered.
Apart from over 7,500 high-quality dwelling units,
the island development will also have three luxury
hotels offering around 900 rooms between them, retail
units covering approximately 60,000 square meters, and
community infrastructural facilities such as
entertainment centers, restaurants and parks.
The island is even expected top have its own private
schools. An �island city within a city� Pearl of the
Gulf is to have ten distinct, but inter-related
precincts. Officials say that under an agreement signed
between UDC and
the Government of Qatar almost a year ago,
UDC would be
granted freehold title to the island, together with the
right to sub-divide and re-sell the property.
With three huge bays, designed to
maximize its
water-frontage, the island will, according to the Master
Plan, also have four marinas to accommodate up to 700
boats. The first occupants are expected to take
possession at the beginning of the fourth quarter of
2006.
UDC has
emphasized that �through the process of an international
design competition, a Master Plan and an Environmental
Impact Study prepared by international consultants, the
island has been positioned with the greatest respect to
marine environment and topography in order to achieve
both environmental integrity and construction
practicality.�
