Middle East

The yearly LNG production in the Middle East steadily increased by 11% on average until 2009. In 2010 the yearly increase reached a 47% and in 2011 an additional 30% thanks to the commissioning of new liquefaction trains in Qatar. This evolution has contributed to increase the share of Qatar up to 79% of the Middle East production in 2013.
