DOHA, September 27, 2022 – TotalEnergies has been chosen by NOC QatarEnergy as the first international partner on its North Field South LNG project, the French super-major announced on Saturday.
Under the deal, TotalEnergies will acquire a 9.375% stake in the 16-million-tonnes-per-year project of the total 25% shares available for foreign parties. QatarEnergy will hold the remaining 75%.

The North Field East LNG project will ramp up Qatar’s LNG production capacity to 110 million tonnes per year of LNG by 2026, while the following North Field South LNG project will boost production to 126 million tonnes per year.
