  • The North Field is part of the world's most extensive gas field that Qatar shares with Iran, which calls its holding South Pars.
  • The deal will provide Germany with 2 million tonnes of LNG annually, arriving from Ras Laffan in Qatar to Germany's northern LNG terminal of Brunsbuettel, QatarEnergy's CEO Saad al-Kaabi said.
