Oil, Gas and Petrochemicals Update The Qatar Pavilion at COP26 included representatives from QF, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, QatarEnergy, and the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy. At the last summit in 2019, The Amir announced Qatar would donate USD100 mn to help small island developing states and the least developed countries deal with climate change and natural hazards.

News From Qatar

Becoming QatarEnergy is in line with other international companies that have taken similar steps to reflect their new energy transition status.

Global and Local Overview Speaking at the Saudi Green Initiative (SGI) ahead of the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) that was held in Glasgow in October, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said that Saudi Arabia, the world's top oil exporter, plans to reach net zero emissions of greenhouse gases by 2060, and double the emissions cuts it plans to achieve by 2030.

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman stated that Saudi Arabia would also join a global initiative on slashing emissions of methane by 30% from 2020 levels by 2030. Saudi Arabia will tackle climate change, while considering the continued importance of hydrocarbons and oil market stability. Amin Nasser, Chief Executive of Saudi Aramco, said while it was counterproductive to 'demonise' hydrocarbons, the state-owned energy company plans to expand oil and gas production capacity but also achieve net zero emissions from its operations by 2050.

Saudi Arabia is the second GCC country to state a target, following the announcement by the United Arab Emirates ahead of COP26 that it has set 2050 as its goal for achieving carbon neutrality.

This is in line with the US, which has also given 2050 as its target, under its commitment as the world's second-largest emitter. The first and thirdlargest emitters, China and India respectively, have not given any committment. The presidents of China and Russia, also one of the world's top polluters, did not attend the COP26 summit.

The Amir, HH Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani did attend, along with a delegation from Qatar Foundation (QF) and the recently appointed Minister of Environment and Climate Change, Sheikh Dr Faleh bin Nasser bin Ahmed bin Ali Al Thani.

Speaking at a press conference given for the change of name, HE Saad Al Kaabi, Minister of State for Energy and the President and CEO of QatarEnergy, stated 'It’s more of a reflection of what we’re actually doing that wasn’t reflected by the name that we had.'

HE Al Kaabi also said natural gas would remain part of the energy transition and the company's LNG expansion plans were not affected. However, the state-owned entity wanted to be more efficient in its own energy use.

At the same press conference, HE Al Kaabi expressed his dissatisfaction with the high prices of gas, but that Qatar – the world’s largest seller of liquefied natural gas (LNG) – was unable to provide any further supplies to calm the market.

Oil, Gas and Petrochemicals Update

The big news in October was the announcement of the change of name for Qatar Petroleum. The oil company has rebranded as QatarEnergy, describing itself as 'your energy transition partner'.

This mirrored similar comments made by HE Al Kaabi during a virtual discussion with HE Kadri Simson, the European Union Commissioner for Energy, a few days previously. Discussions during the meeting dealt with cooperation in the energy field between Qatar and the European Union.

During the meeting, HE Al Kaabi commented that 'While natural gas prices are an outcome of basic market fundamentals including supply and demand, the current price levels observed in global gas markets are unhealthy for both producers and consumers.'

Amid these rising gas prices, Qatar plans to expand LNG output to 127 mn tons a year by 2027, up from 77 mn tons. In October, four new LNG carriers were ordered from Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding Group Co Ltd (Hudong), a whollyowned subsidiary of China State Shipbuilding Corporation Ltd (CSSC), the first batch of orders in QatarEnergies' massive LNG shipbuilding programme, and part of an agreement signed in April 2020 to reserve ship construction capacity. ©

Oil, Gas and Petrochemicals Update

Under a cabinet reshuffle in October, the new Ministry of Environment and Climate Change will oversee the state's ‘Climate Change Action Plan’ which aims to cut 25% of greenhouse gas emissions and carbon intensity at LNG facilities in the next eight years. HE Saad Al Kaabi, Minister of State for Energy and the President and CEO of QatarEnergy, had earlier stressed the importance of collaboration to help mitigate the effects of climate change at the First Asia Green Growth Partnership Ministerial Meeting, held virtually from Tokyo.

QatarEnergy raised USD12.5 bn through a bond issue in June (as Qatar Petroleum), its first public bond sale and the biggest issuance in emerging markets so far in 2021. According to HE Al Kaabi, the monies raised was to ensure sufficient liquidity moving forward, and that QatarEnergy would not follow other energy companies in the region which have sold assets, such as Saudi Aramco.

Under its new guise, QatarEnergy has signed an agreement with Royal Dutch Shell plc to pursue joint investments in blue and green hydrogen projects in the UK. The two partners will focus on opportunities in key sectors where hydrogen could help decarbonise, like industrial cluster development and the transport sector, with a focus on the London metropolitan area.

QatarEnergy has also signed an agreement with ExxonMobil Canada to farm into an exploration license offshore the province of Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada. QatarEnergy will hold a 40% participating interest in license EL 1165A, where the Hampden exploration well activities are planned, with the remaining interest held

by ExxonMobil Canada. This is QatarEnergies' first entry into offshore Canada. The block is approximately 450 km east of the city of St John’s in Newfoundland and Labrador, in water depths of approximately 1,100 m.

A collaboration has been agreed between QatarEnergy and the Hydrogen Convergence Alliance (H2Korea), a public-private consultative body established by the Korean government in 2017 to promote and develop the hydrogen industry. According to HE Al Kaabi, 'We are pleased to sign this agreement on hydrogen to expand our strong relations into new horizons of cleaner energy including our long-established strategic partnership in the field of liquefied natural gas. We believe hydrogen has an important role to play in the energy transition towards an affordable, reliable and clean energy system, but only if relevant competent entities, such as QatarEnergy and H2Korea, join hands to achieve this goal.'

Siraj Energy (a joint venture between QatarEnergy (51%) and Qatar Electricity And Water Co (49%)) has signed two memoranda of understanding (MoUs) between Qatar Foundation (QF) and WOQOD, related to photovoltaic (PV) energy and systems applications. The first MoU, between Siraj Energy and QF, will allow Siraj Energy to study and evaluate the installation and utilisation of PV systems to power Sidra Medicine, QF's healthcare facility and research centre for women and children. The second MoU between Siraj Energy and WOQOD is for the installation of PV systems at two WOQOD stations to charge electric cars. Siraj Energy will finance, engineer, construct, procure, test/commission, operate, and maintain the systems, with a view to completing the projects by Q2 2022. m

Qatargas, the largest producer of LNG in the world, has completed the fabrication of wellhead platform jacket WHP12N for the North Field Production Sustainability (NFPS) Project. The jacket will serve as the steel frame to support a topside structure as part of a fixed offshore production platform.

The new jacket is the first support drilling structure to be manufactured in Qatar for Qatargas and is one of several new offshore structures to ensure that production from Qatar’s existing LNG trains is sustained at 77 mn tonnes per annum.

Qatargas' Coral Reef Project

By Sarah Palmer

An ambitious Coral Management Programme focused on sustaining and preserving Qatar’s marine biodiversity has been successfully overseen by Qatargas, in collaboration with the former Ministry of Municipality and Environment and Qatar University.

T

he Coral Management Programme (CMP) undertaken by Qatargas is aligned with the Environmental Developmental Pillar of Qatar National Vision 2030, and is based on artificial reef deployment and coral relocation, as well as the first of its kind land-based coral nursery.

Also under the programme is a long-term comprehensive plan to monitor the relocated corals.

These relocation zones will eventually be handed over to the now Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, and become part of Qatar’s protected natural reserve.

Qatargas has played an important role in preserving the country's marine biodiversity. Since 2007 the company has relocated more than 7,500 live corals from nearshore pipelines to offshore protected areas, including over 400 artificial reef modules at several marine locations around Qatar.

Qatargas' current Coral Management Programme has been implemented to mitigate the North Field Production Sustainability (NFPS) Project. As part of

QATAR OIL, GAS AND PETROCHEMICAL E-GUIDE ©

the programme, over 150 sets of hybrid artificial reefs were deployed near Al Ghariya in northern Qatar.

These reef modules were locally fabricated using an environmentally-friendly concrete mix, and deployed following a comprehensive Marine Environmental Assessment of the Al Ghariya site. The deployment was followed by meticulous relocation of 1,250 live corals from the NFPS project site to Al Ghariya.

The CMP also includes the establishment of a unique land-based Coral Nursery at the Aquatic Fisheries Research Center (AFRC) in Ras Matbakh in northern Qatar. Over 400 live corals were taken to the nursery for coral husbandry and the extracted corals were rehabilitated and fragmented.

The fragmented corals were then out-planted to carefully selected recipient sites north of Sheraoh Island. In order to see first-hand and have a better understanding of the nursery programme, a team of officials from the Ministry, Qatargas and QU paid a visit to the AFRC lab, discussing the project with the scientists and researchers.

The Coral Nursery can potentially become a National Coral Bank, which will allow it to contribute to future marine biodiversity and coral protection projects, both in Qatar and the region. It will additionally

11/30/21 11:53 AM

optimise the Technological Readiness Level (TRL) of the procedures and facilities for propagation of local coral species in a land-based nursery. This unique programme is expected to pave the way forward for sustainable marine ecosystem preservation methods.

Why it is important to preserve coral reefs Coral reefs host a unique and fragile ecosystem that is under threat from human activities and global warming. The reefs are built on a symbiotic relationship between sea animals (scleractinian corals) and micro-algae (zooxanthellae). Despite occupying less than 0.1% of the ocean floor, they are home to 25% of all marine species, further highlighting their crucial role in marine biotopes.

Coral reefs are primarily located in shallow coastal areas, providing a range of ecosystem services and helping protect shorelines from erosion and waves. Carbon is trapped in the calcium carbonate skeletons, meaning that corals can create a large amount of carbon to reduce levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere.

QU was part of another collaboration in 2021 with the TotalEnergies Research Center-Qatar (TRCQ). Under the project, 18 REEF modules will be submerged 20 m into the water with the colonised modules relocated after two years to test their mobility. This trial is to be included in a thesis on coral restoration and underwater monitoring and is part of TotalEnergie's efforts to reduce the environmental impact of their operations.

The REEF project began in 2016 in partnership with Seaboost, a company that develops and provides eco-design solutions for better environmental integration of maritime structures into their ecosystem. This is achieved by developing an artificial object (a REEF module) with similar characteristics like structure, porosity and pH, to encourage coral larvae (planulae) to settle, develop and survive. Once colonised by the coral, the REEF module is relocated to a damaged site to allow reseeding by larvae to ultimately restore large areas of coral reefs over long distances.

This isn't Qatargas' first initiative to protect the environment. In November 2018, the Jetty Boil-Off Gas (JBOG) Recovery Facility was awarded a Qatar Sustainability Award by the Qatar Green Building Council, a member of Qatar Foundation. The awards recognise the contributions of individuals, institutions and organisations in furthering sustainable development and environmental protection in Qatar and beyond, and are supported by the Abdullah bin Hamad Al Attiyah International Foundation for Energy and Sustainable Development.

Initiated by Qatar Energy (formerly Qatar Petroleum) in 2004, and built and operated by Qatargas, the JBOG Recovery Facility minimises flaring at the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) loading berths in Ras Laffan City. Operations commenced in October 2014 from Q-Max ship Zarga, and today recovers more than 90% of the boil-off gas that was previously flared near the jetties. This boil-off gas is collected and transported to a central compressor before returning it to the LNG plants where it is used as fuel gas, or converted back into LNG. The JBOG facility reduces jetty flaring by 90% and CO2 emissions by approximately 1.6 mn tonnes per annum, equivalent to the emissions of 175,000 cars. The facility supports the environmental protection and sustainability targets of Qatar National Vision 2030, and also the State of Qatar’s commitment to reduce climate-changing carbon emissions. m
