Claimed to be the single-largest LNG project in the industry, the NFE project is expected to start production in 2026.

Qatar’s Minister of State for Energy Affairs, and QatarEnergy president and CEO Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi said: “Today, we sign a new partnership agreement that will further enhance our relationship and enable us to benefit from the wide experience of ConocoPhillips in the development of the world’s largest LNG expansion project.

“Our collaboration will help produce cleaner energy to meet growing global demand and achieve a realistic energy transition towards achieving our climate change objectives, thanks to the project’s industry-leading environmental attributes, including carbon capture and sequestration, and other technologies deployed in this project.”
