Additionally, a share sale and purchase agreement was signed, under which QatarEnergy will transfer a 5 percent interest in one NFE train with a capacity of eight MTPA to CPC.

The agreements were signed by His excellency Mr. Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, minister of State for Energy Affairs, president and CEO of QatarEnergy, and Mr. Shun-Chin Lee, Chairman of CPC Corporation, Taiwan, during a ceremony at QatarEnergy’s headquarters in Doha, attended by senior executives from both companies.

Mr. Shun-Chin Lee remarked, “QatarEnergy, the world’s leading LNG player, has been playing an important role in ensuring Taiwan’s domestic gas market over the past decades. CPC’s acquired equity in the NFE project and this new LNG SPA will further strengthen the cooperative relationship between our two companies.”

The NFE project is part of the overall North Field LNG expansion programme, which includes the North Field South and North Field West projects. Together, these initiatives aim to raise Qatar’s LNG production capacity from the current 77 MTPA to 142 MTPA by 2030.
