???? 據(jù)阿拉伯貿(mào)易2021 年2月2日多哈報(bào)道，最近，卡塔爾液化天然氣運(yùn)營(yíng)公司(Qatargas)從其氦氣-2廠裝載了第1萬(wàn)船氦氣貨物，達(dá)到了一個(gè)重要的新里程碑。
????Qatargas表示，這進(jìn)一步證明了卡塔爾作為世界上領(lǐng)先的氦氣生產(chǎn)商和出口商之一的地位，卡塔爾在安全性、可靠性和質(zhì)量方面有著久經(jīng)考驗(yàn)的記錄。
????Qatargas是位于拉斯拉凡工業(yè)城的卡塔爾氦氣生產(chǎn)、儲(chǔ)存和裝載設(shè)施的運(yùn)營(yíng)商。目前，Qatargas公司運(yùn)營(yíng)著氦氣-1和氦氣-2廠，這兩家氦氣廠年總產(chǎn)能為22億標(biāo)準(zhǔn)立方英尺。隨著2021年卡塔爾氦氣-3廠的投產(chǎn)，Qatargas的氦氣產(chǎn)量將約占世界氦氣總產(chǎn)量的35%，年總產(chǎn)能為26億標(biāo)準(zhǔn)立方英尺。
????Qatargas的氦氣-2廠是世界上最大的氦氣生產(chǎn)設(shè)施，于2013年6月開(kāi)始生產(chǎn)，2017年5月裝載了第5000船氦氣貨物。Qatargas還經(jīng)營(yíng)著氦氣-1廠，后者2005年9月開(kāi)始生產(chǎn)。
????氦氣在科學(xué)、醫(yī)藥和半導(dǎo)體、磁共振成像(MRI)、空間探索和纖維光學(xué)等高科技產(chǎn)業(yè)有很高的應(yīng)用價(jià)值。Qatargas表示，全球氦氣需求預(yù)計(jì)將繼續(xù)以每年2-3%的速度增長(zhǎng)。

????Qatargas achieves new helium delivery milestone
????Qatargas Operating Company Limited (Qatargas) reached a significant milestone when it loaded the 10,000th cargo of helium from its Helium-2 plant recently.
????This further demonstrates Qatar's position as one of the leading helium producers and exporters in the world, with a proven record for safety, reliability and quality, the company said.
????Qatargas is the operator of Qatar's helium production, storage and loading facilities located in Ras Laffan. Currently it operates Helium 1 and 2 plants, which have a combined production capacity of 2.2 billion standard cubic feet (bscf) per year. With the start of the Helium-3 plant in 2021, Qatargas will account for approximately 35% of world helium production with an overall production capacity of 2.6 bscf per year.
????Qatargas' Helium 2 Plant, which is the largest helium production facility in the world, started production in June 2013 and the 5,000th cargo from Helium 2 was loaded in May 2017. Qatargas also operates the Helium 1 plant, which started production in September 2005.
????Helium has high value applications in science, medicine and high-tech industries, including semiconductors, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), space exploration and fibre optics. Global demand for helium is forecasted by the industry to continue to grow at 2-3% per annum, the company said.
