Qatar Petroleum has invited relevant companies to bid for the construction of up to 100 LNG carriers. The company described the move as the largest program of its kind in the history of the gas industry.
The new vessels are intended to meet the export requirements after completion of the North Field expansion project.

Over 100 new tankers over the next decade.
This initiative will also strengthen Qatar Petroleum's commitment to its international reputation as a reliable and reliable energy supplier at all times and in all circumstances.
Al-Kaabi added that by adding this tender to the recent tenders for the engineering, procurement and construction of four large LNG production lines of the North Field Expansion Project, Qatar Petroleum has developed two landmark and historic landmarks on the road to developing the world's largest non-associated natural gas field.
