Qatar is the largest exporter of LNG in the world; by 2010 it is expected to supply 30% of the world’s LNG. All of the RasGas LNG trains are located in Qatar’s Ras Laffan industrial area, drawing on gas from the giant North Field. RasGas I (trains 1 and 2) produces a combined 6.6 million tons per annum, while RasGas II (trains 3, 4 and 5) produces a combined 14.1 million tons. The RasGas III initiative comprises two trains (train numbers 6 and 7) that will add a further 15.6 million tons of LNG capacity, cranking up the total volume of all production on site to more than 36 million tons. Train 6 is supposed to come on line in 2010. Qatar sits on the world’s third larget pool of gas reserves with its giant North Field, which is the world’s largest natural gas field. Qatar however has put a moratorium on future export projects for any gas from its North Field at least until 2010 and possibly until 2012
