Qatargas has inaugurated Laffan Refinery 2 in Ras Laffan Industrial City, effectively doubling Qatar’s condensate refining capacity to 292,000 barrels per day.
As such, Laffan Refinery 2 will make a significant contribution to the sustained, economic development of the State of Qatar by optimizing the country’s natural resources for generations to come, a statement said.
The new refinery processes condensate to produce five high quality products of naphtha, kerojet (A-1), diesel and liquefied petroleum gas in the form of propane and butane.
Qatargas operates the refinery on behalf of Laffan Refinery 2’s shareholders: Qatar Petroleum (84 per cent), Total (10 per cent), Cosmo (2 per cent), Idemitsu (2 per cent), Mitsui (1 per cent) and Marubeni (1 per cent).
