Sinopec Signs Long-term LNG Deal of 2 Million Tons per Annum with Qatar
Petroleum.
Zhang Yuzhuo, Chairman of Sinopec, noted the long-term LNG contract with Qatar
Petroleum is a first in the company's history and of significant importance:
"We look forward to further cooperation with Qatar Petroleum in the future.
Sinopec has always advocated for the development of green and clean energy and
the long-term LNG supply agreement will not only meet the needs of the Chinese
market but will also demonstrate Sinopec's commitment to a low-carbon, green,
safe, responsible and sustainable development path," remarked Zhang. "We firmly
believe that it's the responsibility of the entire industry and every company
to reach peak carbon emissions and achieve carbon neutral, which is needed for
the industry's transformation and development."
Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, Minister of State for Energy Affairs of the State of
Qatar, the president and CEO of Qatar Petroleum, expressed that signing the
first long-term LNG contract with Sinopec has further consolidated the sound
bilateral relations between the two countries, as well as the beginning of
establishing a long-term, fruitful cooperative relationship between Qatar
Petroleum and Sinopec.
China and Qatar's cooperation in the energy sector started in 2009, and this
cooperation will further enhance Qatar's ability to supply the Chinese market
to meet growing demand as well as highlighting Qatar Petroleum's leading
position in the industry.
China is a key and strategic energy partner for the State of Qatar throughout
the entire energy value chain having supplied 62 million tons of LNG to China
since 2009. With the government introducing a series of environmental
protection measures, China's LNG market will maintain steady growth in the
future, bringing broad prospects for cooperation between both parties.
Qatar Petroleum is the national oil corporation of Qatar, established in
November 1974. It is responsible for the development of the oil and gas
industry in the State of Qatar and its main businesses include oil and gas
exploration and development.
