Ras Laffan thermal activity eases from July 7 peak, six LNG trains show thermal signatures

QatarEnergy's 77 mtpa Ras Laffan LNG export complex showed thermal signatures across six liquefaction trains in a satellite image captured on July 12, one fewer than in a previous image on July 7, when the export complex exhibited thermal activity across the highest number of trains since monitoring began on Mar. 5.

Thermal signatures indicate heat associated with plant operations but do not, on their own, confirm LNG production levels, operating rates or the operational status of individual liquefaction trains.
