[クウェート ２６日 ロイター] - カタールは２６日、クウェートに年間３００万トンの液化天然ガス（ＬＮＧ）を１５年間供給することで合意した。国営カタールエナジーとクウェート石油公社（ＫＰＣ）の最高経営責任者（ＣＥＯ）がクウェートにおけるＬＮＧの長期売買契約に調印した。２０２５年１月から供給を開始する。クウェートは、電力需要を満たすために輸入ガスへの依存度を高めている。ＫＰＣは石油生産能力の向上を目指す戦略の一環として、自国のガス生産量の増強を目指している。クウェートは先週ガス供給が滞ったためにこの夏で２度目となる計画停電に直面した。夏の気温は摂氏５０度を超える。ＫＰＣのシェイク・ナワフＣＥＯは、この取引は「クウェートの発電において極めて重要な役割を果たす」と述べた。カタールは今年に入り、世界有数のＬＮＧ輸出国としての地位を固めるべく、北油田プロジェクトのさらなる拡大を発表した。私たちの行動規範：トムソン・ロイター「信頼の原則」, opens new tab
