石油设备网讯 据世界石油网2019年4月17日卡塔尔多哈和德国路德维希港报道，卡塔尔液化天然气运营有限公司(Qatargas)代表卡塔尔石油公司（QP）和德国化工巨头巴斯夫公司签署了卡塔尔北部大气田扩建项目的技术许可协议。
根据协议，巴斯夫公司将提供两种技术，一种技术用于气体去除，另一种技术用于气体处理，这些技术将以OASE®和FlexsorbTM品牌出售给卡塔尔的4条新的液化天然气（LNG）生产线。天然气脱气处理技术是LNG生产的重要组成部分。
气体去除技术从天然气流中去除二氧化碳(CO2)和硫化氢(H2S)等杂质，使随后的天然气液化过程得以进行。
巴斯夫说：“我们很荣幸支持卡塔尔液化天然气公司通过我们提供的技术来实现其可持续发展目标。在未来几年中，我们将与卡塔尔液化天然气公司密切合作，以达到最佳效果。”
卡塔尔的北方大气田扩建项目包括4条新的LNG生产线。北方大气田位于卡塔尔半岛东北海岸，面积超过6000平方公里，相当于卡塔尔国土面积的一半。
LNG是被冷却到液态的天然气。在这种形式下，它占用的体积大大减少，因此更容易运输和存储。LNG是一种清洁能源和发电燃料，全球需求不断增长。它是一种可持续的化石燃料，对环境友好，由于其清洁燃烧的特点，它比其他燃料(液体或固体)产生更少的温室气体和有毒排放。

Qatargas and BASF sign gas treating technology license agreement for LNG trains
Ludwigshafen, Germany and Doha, Qatar – Qatargas Operating Company Limited (Qatargas), acting on behalf of Qatar Petroleum, and BASF SE have signed a technology license agreement for the North Field Expansion Project in Qatar.
Under the agreement, BASF is providing two technologies, one for gas removal and another for gas treatment, these technologies are marketed under the brand OASE® and FlexsorbTM for four new Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) trains in Qatar. Gas removal and treatment technology is an integral part in the production of LNG.
It removes impurities such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S), from the natural gas stream to enable the subsequent liquefaction process to take place.
“We are proud to support Qatargas in meeting its sustainability goals by providing our technologies. Over the next few years we will work very closely with Qatargas to achieve optimal results,” said Andreas Northemann, Vice President of BASF Gas Treatment.
The North Field Expansion Project in Qatar comprises of four new LNG mega trains. The North Field lies off the north-east shore of the Qatar peninsula and covers an area of more than 6,000 square kilometers, equivalent to about half the land area of the State of Qatar.
LNG is natural gas that has been cooled to a liquid state. In this form, it takes up significantly less volume and is thus easier to transport and store. LNG is a clean energy and power generating fuel with rising global demand. It is a sustainable fossil fuel, environmental-friendly and it produces less greenhouse gas and toxic emissions than other fuels (liquid or solid) due to its clean burning characteristic.
