The ‘77Mta Task Force’ will be headed by Abdulaziz al-Malki, director, Office of Deputy Premier. “With the imminent completion of Qatargas’ Train 6 and 7 and the earlier completion of RasGas’ Train 7, we, Qatar, will have an installed capacity of some 77Mta…Our country will certainly take centre position on the world energy stage as the world’s largest LNG producer,” said HE the Deputy Premier Abdullah bin Hamad al-Attiyah after constituting the committee. The committee has representation from the Qatar Petroleum group of companies, namely Qatargas, RasGas and Ras Laffan Industrial City. It will be the first time this dynamic group of companies and disciplines to come together to present such a significant achievement, according to the QP spokesman. Close communication and collaboration has begun with other interested stakeholders, including the offices of the Emiri Diwan and company shareholder representatives, ensuring this significant milestone is captured in a way that has never been seen before, the spokesman added. It is anticipated that the 77Mta event will be held on December 13, 2010, at Ras Laffan to be shared with a global audience along with the world’s media. The central event of the 77Mta of LNG will take the form of a celebration showing all aspects of the projects, the people and infrastructure which have made this achievement possible. Over the next 103 days the community in Qatar and exporting markets will be encouraged to engage, acknowledge and play their part in celebrating the nation’s LNG achievements, according to the spokesman. http://www.gulf-times.com/site/topics/article.asp?cu_no=2&item_no=383098&version=1&template_id=36&parent_id=16
