Report summary
Qatar is currently the world's largest exporter of LNG, with a nominal production capacity of 77.2 mmtpa (103 bcm/year). LNG production dropped by 2.8 mmtpa (3.8 bcm/year) in 2014 due to weak LNG spot market demand. Future production growth is expected to be marginal until the end of the decade and driven by pricing opportunities and the North Field moratorium.
