???? 據今日油價4月21日報道，本周發布的一份新報告顯示，2021年第一季度，阿拉伯海灣國家宣布了價值100億美元的油氣行業新項目，值得一提的是，所有行業的項目總額為323億美元。

????據TradeArabia稱，第一季度，海灣合作委員會(GCC)——巴林、科威特、阿曼、卡塔爾、沙特阿拉伯和阿拉伯聯合酋長國，增加的項目價值僅次于公用事業部門。據BNC Network估計，公用事業項目宣布的總價值為145億美元。

????其中，沙特阿拉伯占第一季度宣布項目總價值的54%，達190億美元，其次是卡塔爾，占比為21%。在石油和天然氣領域，隨著卡塔爾宣布擴大液化天然氣(LNG)產能，卡塔爾在第一季度100億美元的海灣合作委員會項目中貢獻最大。

????卡塔爾于2021年2月批準了世界液化天然氣項目的產能，當時卡塔爾石油公司做出了建設North Field East項目(NFE)的最終投資決定，該項目將使卡塔爾的液化天然氣產能從每年7700萬噸提高到2025年的1.1億噸/年。該項目預計將于2025年第四季度投產，將耗資287.5億美元，成為近年來該行業最大的投資項目之一。

????卡塔爾還計劃在與伊朗共享的世界最大天然氣田North Field進行第二個階段的擴張，這將進一步提高卡塔爾液化天然氣產能從1.1億噸/年增加到1.26億噸/年，預計投產日期為2027年。

????Arab Gulf Countries Announced $10 Billion In New Oil And Gas Projects In Q1

????The Arab Gulf countries announced as much as US$10 billion worth of new projects in the oil and gas sector during the first quarter of 2021, out of the total US$32.3 billion projects in all sectors, a new report showed this week.

????The oil and gas industry in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)—Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE)—added the second-largest value of projects in Q1 after the utility sector, according to the Projects Journal of construction intelligence provider BNC Network, cited by TradeArabia.

????The announced projects in utilities were worth a total of US$14.5 billion, according to BNC Network’s estimates.

????In all sectors, Saudi Arabia accounted for 54 percent of the Q1 announcements with projects worth US$19 billion, followed by Qatar with 21 percent of the value of Q1 announcements.

????In the oil and gas sector, it was Qatar that contributed the most to the US$10 billion worth of projects in the GCC in the first quarter, with the announcement of the expansion of Qatar’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) capacity.

????Qatar approved in February 2021 the world’s LNG project in terms of capacity, when Qatar Petroleum took the final investment decision to build the North Field East Project (NFE), which is set to raise Qatar’s LNG production capacity from 77 million tons per annum (mmtpa) to 110 mmtpa by 2025. The project, expected to start production in the fourth quarter of 2025, will cost US$28.75 billion, which would make it one of the industry’s largest investments in recent years.

????Qatar also plans another expansion phase at the North Field, the world’s largest natural gas field, which it shares with Iran. The second expansion phase will be the North Field South Project (NFS), set to further increase Qatar’s LNG production capacity from 110 mmtpa to 126 mmtpa, with an expected production start date in 2027.
