RasGas to Become World's Largest Gas Processor After Barzan Project Completion

Qatar’s RasGas is likely to become the largest gas processor in the world after completion of the Barzan project.

Once the project is commissioned, the company would be handling 2 mn barrels of oil equivalent a day or 11 bcfd .

The $10.4 bn project is a joint venture between Qatar Petroleum and ExxonMobil to produce and process gas from Qatar’s North Field. The project is expected to supply 1.4bn cu ft per day of gas, with the first gas flow planned for late 2014. The project is designed to accommodate a maximum of six trains.

Gas from Barzan will be used by power stations and industries in Qatar.
