Natural gas in the Mideast Gulf region is enjoying a renaissance, with producers accelerating plans that should redefine industry benchmarks. The jewel in the crown is Qatar’s 32 million ton per year North Field East expansion, the single biggest project in LNG industry history. Saudi Aramco’s planned $110 billion Jafurah shale gas megaproject is also paradigm busting, and not only due to its ultra-low-cost tradition. And while other regional neighbors such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Oman might not have projects on such a scale, they can also claim major gas progress.
