- DOHA: Qatargas and Royal Dutch Shell sent the first cargo of liquified natural gas (LNG) from their new train seven plant to India, Qatargas said.
“The cargo is en route to Hazira receiving terminal in India,” it said in a statement.
Shell owns 30 percent of the 7.8 million ton a year (mtpa) LNG plant in Qatar with Qatar Petroleum holding 70 percent.
Train 7 is the last train constructed by Qatargas, taking the company’s overall production capacity up to 42 mtpa.
“Qatargas 4 opened up new markets for Qatari LNG in China and Dubai with agreements signed in 2008, and continues to look for further opportunities,” Shell executive vice-president Andy Brown said in a statement.
“It is therefore fitting that its first cargo should go to India, a market with significant potential for LNG,” he said.
