LNG Terminals in Qatar
Qatar has 11 LNG terminals mapped on the OverWatts open energy atlas — the 29th-largest fleet of the 102 countries that hold any, and 0.8% of the world's mapped total. Of these, 8 operating and 3 under construction or proposed. Combined LNG capacity is about 218 Mtpa. The largest is Ras Laffan LNG (77 Mtpa).
The largest owner-operators are QatarEnergy (10), QatarEnergy LNG (10) and Exxon Mobil Corp (5) — QatarEnergy alone is named on 91% of them. Half of Qatar's LNG terminals in service predate 2009 (median commissioning year of the 8 with a known date) and the oldest still listed is QatarEnergy LNG (N), dating from 1996. 3 are in the pipeline, led by Qatar North Field LNG Terminal (32 Mtpa), under construction. They account for 9% of every energy asset OverWatts maps in Qatar.
