Qatar lifts moratorium on developing the North Field, which holds the majority of the country’s natural gas >Qatar will end a self-imposed moratorium on further developing the North Field as it hopes to remain competitive and capture more market share in natural gas markets over the coming years. North Field, which is split by territorial lines with Iran and called South Pars by the Islamic Republic, is the largest natural gas deposit in the world, according to the EIA, and represents the majority of Qatar’s 872 Tcf of natural gas reserves.
>Qatar declared the moratorium in 2005 to study the effects of production on the reservoir.
>“We have completed most of our projects and now is a good time to lift the moratorium,” Qatar Petroleum CEO Saad al-Kaabi said. “There are no analysts who can say when demand for gas will wane. For oil, there are people who see peak demand in 2030, others in 2042, but for gas, demand is constantly growing.”
>The development in the southern section of the North Field will have a capacity of 2 billion cubic feet per day, or 400,000 barrels of oil equivalent, and increase production of the field by about 10 percent, when it starts production in five to seven years, he said.
>Qatar Petroleum’s decision is a sign that it wants to increase its LNG market share, Giles Farrer, research director, global LNG, at Wood Mackenzie, said. It’s “also a threat to other developers of new capacity worldwide, as Qatar can add new capacity at a lower cost than anybody else.”
>Qatar is expected to lose its top exporter position this year to Australia where new production is due to come on line. While current commodity prices do not offer the most attractive returns on new LNG projects, Qatar Petroleum expects that markets will tighten by the time its new developments come on line.
>An energy advisor to the Qatar government told Reuters he saw it as a preemptive step to warn competitors who are considering LNG investments that Qatar remains an aggressive seller.
“It will certainly give rivals something to chew on,” he said, declining to be named as he was not authorized to speak publicly.
>Several other countries are looking for ways to increase their LNG output as well, however. Both the U.S. and Australia have been adding new projects, and Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday Russia aims to become the world’s largest LNG producer.
>All of the upcoming projects in global installed LNG capacity of over 300 million tons per annum, while only around 268 million tons of LNG were traded over the course of last year, according to Thomson Reuters data.

Iran also increasing production from South Pars Last week, Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Zangeneh said Iran will also ramp up natural gas production from its portion of the field. “Iran’s gas production in South Pars can exceed Qatar’s before the end of new Iranian year (ending March 20, 2018),” Zanganeh was quoted as saying by Tasnim news agency on Thursday.
Iran has made increasing natural gas production a top priority to meet domestic shortages. The country signed a preliminary deal with France’s Total (ticker: TOT) in November to develop its South Pars II project.
Total was the first Western energy company to sign a major deal with Tehran since the lifting of international sanctions.
Kaabi said the decision to lift the moratorium was not prompted by Iran’s plan to develop its part of the shared field.
“What we are doing today is something completely new and we will in future of course … share information on this with them (Iran).”

Not sensational enough for anyone to take notice.
Put "TERRORIST" and "TRUMP" and "BOMB" in it if you want to attract americans.
Justin Jenkins
I'll give an example:
Qatar has just announced it will still for more oil and gas, which will cause prices to BOMB. Although TRUMP has no comment so far, the other arab countries which are rival producers of oil and gas, have starting making up stories about TERRORISTS to threaten What at. They will probably ATTACK Quatar over one excuse or another, and KILL everyone.
>this text is in green to draw attention, like PORN
All in all, Quatar is FUCKed, but who give a shit. With luck, ALIENS will come and nuke America, Israel and the middle east.
>when it starts production in five to seven years, he said. geez these niggas are quick to gang up on them. it's not like it will take 5 years to beat the shit out of them, why not let them get started on production and THEN cut ties?
Cooper Bell
It's a threat. They cut ties and quatar shits buckets then agrees to give Saudi 90% of its profits for a thousand years. After that, america just bombs quatar flat anyway.
HOO YAH!

>More from MoD @AvigdorLiberman "Those cutting ties w/ Qatar understand that Islamic terror, and not Israel, is the real threat to the area."
This is really good PR. Just at the moment that press is being forced to look at Saudi ties to headchoppers, and UK/US alliance with them, GCC launches a coordinated campaign to re-direct from all this.
I think there was more to this multi Billion dollar arms trade than just arms.
Saudi's might be eyeing up the Oil in Qatar to split it with US.
Qatar has been sponsoring terrorism for a very long time, but now they have a reason to sort them out. INB4 Coalition invade Qatar by the end of the year.
Oliver Brooks

From June 1st >The ferocity and the sheer scale of the “Qatar-bashing” articles suggest that an orchestrated campaign is underway to discredit Doha regionally but also — crucially — in the eyes of the Trump administration.
For fucks sake. The last thing Middle-East needs is yet another country with infrastructure, to be torn down to stone age. It's like the plan is to slowly turn the entire region into a complete shithole, without any semblance of civilization. Give it a year and they're going to be bombing the place.

Qatar has always played many sides. It's like a giant pink elephant in the room. Seems convenient to single them out now, in light of Corbyn's surge and press being basically forced to look at saudi-funded wahabism and their moderate heachopping in Syria.

Evan Howard
They do aid and work with several opposing sides, which seems convenient to scapegoat them now that saudi/uk/us relations are under scrutiny by msm. This post has interesting analysis
Elijah Anderson
Yeah but why scapegoat them? Is it because of the recent Wikileaks showing that Saudi and Qatar made ISIS, so they threw Qatar (who isn't in the (((tribe))) under the bus) so they could say "Hey! Look we caught the country doing terrorist deals" to take the spotlight away from them? Genuis, still don't trust Trump though... gave them 100b
Isaiah Edwards
I wouldn't say it excludes any link; until the army took back Egypt, the MB were allied with Salafist groups like Hizb al Nur
Leo Hughes
Here is some more information on this. It basically looks like a gulf state power play in response to qatar's nat gas ambitions.
Iran said they are ready to supply food for all qataris
Noah Gray
i think that is the most likely scenario. The Saudi's are looking to dominant the Arabian penisula and doing this in an attempt to subjugate qatar. Just look at Saudi's invovlement in Yemen. Bombs in qatar by the end of the year.
Jack Powell

Nathaniel Miller
What I can't theorize is what will come of this other than Qatar being ostracized... can you think of anything? I swear to you if we create more "refugees" I'm done with this shit
Kevin Garcia
It's not about refugees this time, its about Saudis long term prospects in the region. They are trying to be the hegemony in the Middle East and need to marginalize anyone that has ties to Iran. Qatar is easy to scapegoat because of its connections to the Muslim Brotherhood. However the larger picture probably includes the Saudis wanting their hands on Qatar's natural gas. Another thing to always keep in mind is the Sunni/Shia divide. Alliance change fast in the Middle East just look since 2000.
Dylan Flores
Refugees are just a plus bonus to get rid of whitey who's always stood a better chance against (((them))) I think the Sunni/Shia shit is just a smokescreen for more sinister bidding

among oil countries, it is going to be a game of survivor from now on thanks to china, india and pretty much the whole world moving away from oil, tanking prices qatar being the least popular, having a more neutral stance (neutral-iran), more pro-republic and own pipeline + deals is just the one chosen by the tribal council to be eliminated
Brayden Campbell
The Saudis know they won't have oil forever, amd from the looks of it qatar will have LNG long after the Saudis dry up. Makes sense to crush them now. Also, Al Jazeera is starting to erode the Saudi clerics position as Arab Muslim thought leaders.
Grayson Martin
dunno. but this infighting amongst them might lead to more infighting amongst headchoppers in Syria.
Aiden Diaz
>among oil countries, it is going to be a game of survivor from now on This.
As soon major economies move towards electric it's ogre for the middle east. to be fair people will still need LNG so anyone who has LNG will have a lot better chances to live, which in this case is Qatar.
Middle east will see some democracy and freedum in some time.
Jackson Scott
inb4 Qatar is the sacrificial lamb for Assad's victory
Henry Morris
These are both spot on. Its all about the long game and oil demand is falling. The Saudis want LNG and Qatar has it.
Camden Morris

Oliver Robinson
Lol at all you fucking retarded morons sucking OPs dick.
Not once did he explain why that is at all relevant to the other Gulf states removing their diplomats and isolating Qatar (hint: it's not relevant at all dipshits).
The only way it's relevant is that it means that Qatar and Iran will carry out information sharing and that it will mean they're be slightly closer diplomatically. That's nothing to do with why the Gulf states are cutting off ties. It is to do with the fact that Qatar is trying to destabilize the other khaleeji states by funding Islamists (like the Sahwa, Ikhwan, Al-Islah) or by funding the Shia groups in the country. The Qataris strongly believe that the future of the Middle East is Islamist democracy and so have been funding them to gain influence over these groups and movements. The UAE, Saudis and Egyptian military-deep state are strongly against these trends. In Saudi Arabia a group called "Sahwa" and in UAE Al-Islah are related to the Muslim Brotherhood and the governments are deeply concerned by their influence and the fact they could threaten the legitimacy of the government. The fact that Qatar funds these Islamists and the Shia groups in the country is the real reason why the other Gulf states despise Qatar. It's basically Qatar and the rest jostling for supremacy of the Sunni Arab world, as the Clinton e-mails stated.
Honestly the quality of discourse on this shitty forum is pure garbage. You're all dumb working-class pseudointellectuals who jerk each other off telling each other how smart you are. You don't have a fucking clue about the region, or politics in general, you worthless retards. Fuck this shitty forum. And fuck all khaleeji subhumans too.

FOLLOWING QATAR AFFAIR, 'ISRAEL IS WILLING TO COOPERATE WITH ARAB COUNTRIES TO FIGHT TERROR'
Except she wasn't just raped, the filthY qatari subhuman not only raped her, he then plunged a knife into her heart, then dumped her in the desert and set her on fire. There were pictures in Doha going around over her burnt blackened corpse with the knife still sticking out of her torso (and Qataris were passing this around like it was some joke).
Then the Qatari courts compeltely ruined her mother... the subhuman who did this had his punishment revoked , because apparently the retard "knifed her by accident", and another friend who helped him rape and mruder her got 3 years. Filthy Qataris let each other off for anything.
And no white women don't love being raped. Only arabs think this, which is why they cannot control their rape urges. I can tell you're a stinking arab, probably a khaleeji just by your post, you disgusting cockroach. Pedo scum.

This is the retarded monkey discourse I'm talking about. You guys are thick as pigshit. So you're saying that it was the jews who caused the Saudis Emiratis and Bahrainis to cut their ties with Qatar? Even though they did the same thing in 2014? Even though it has literally nothign to do with the jews, and to do with Qatari support of Shias and Islamists in their territories. Israel is just being opportunistic as always, trying to show support to their faggot allies in the Gulf. Let me guess, you were just being sarcastic and you're not really that stupid. Your entire post, like the rest of this thread, just reeks of low-IQ retard who doesnn't have a fucking clue about politics. I mean just re-read your post, even if you're beign sarcastic, you are literally room temperature IQ.
Why do Sup Forumstards even bother to talk about itnernational politics when you guys are so fucking stupid? You don't have a clue about the most basic features of Middle Eastern politics and here you are mutually masturbating each other over your shitty knowledge.

She was a teacher you subhuman arab monkey. I know exactly what you are talking about, it's normal for Saudis and khaleejis to piss and shit on white women, I lived in Doha for 3 years, this stuff is normal there. But even more than white women, Qataris and Saudis for some reason love pissing on Lebanese and Morrocan whores that come to the Gulf searching for petroshekels.
But Patterson was not a whore you retard, she was a teacher. I knew someone who knew her, and I also knew some of the Qatari apes who shared the picture of her corpse. Qataris are not human beings.

The United States has ended the era of Nation Building. When they bomb it, they're not going in to fix it. We wont even need to put boots on the ground, itll all be missiles and bombs.
And if its anyone who's getting bombed, its the Saudis. And they will have a civil war on the ruins of whats left too. Place is all built on luxury, there's nothing there but resources.
Trump might've put his hand on that glowing orb thing, but I smell the biggest double cross in modern history coming up against the Saudis.
