‘North Field Expansion Project to provide world with cleaner energy source’

North Field Expansion Project

Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony, Kaabi said, “This pioneering expansion project is a quantum leap in our country’s leadership in the field of energy and an embodiment of our goals towards optimal investment in our natural resources and our commitment to providing the world with a cleaner source of energy over many decades.”

Kaabi further said, “On the local level, this project will have short-and long-term impacts that will be reflected across all sectors of the Qatari economy and will significantly enhance the State’s revenues. This major expansion comes at a crucial time, as natural gas occupies a pivotal position in the energy mix in a world facing geopolitical turbulence and is in dire need of clean energy sources that are in line with the global environmental goals.”

He added: “There is no doubt that these additional quantities of natural gas are of great importance as they will play a prominent role in enhancing energy security, supporting a practical and realistic energy transition, and ensuring fair and equitable access to cleaner energy for a sustainable growth and a better future for all.”

He said, “I am honoured to extend ample thanks and gratitude to His Highness the Amir for honoring us with his presence and patronage of this celebration, and for his unlimited support and guidance to us in the energy sector.”

Kaabi also took the occasion to thank QatarEnergy’s partners, the working teams of Qatar Energy and QatarEnergy LNG, and the contractors working to implement this project with the highest quality and safety standards.
