According to the press release, Qatar Energy signed a purchase and sales contract with ConocoPhillips, an energy giant. Qatar will supply liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Germany from 2026, with an annual supply of 2 million tons and a supply period of at least 15 years.
We would rather sacrifice ourselves than enlighten others for fear that the United States will earn less.
In fact, Germany has signed a gas supply contract with Qatar for 15 years. Look at what Saad Sharida al Kaabi, the energy minister of Qatar, said, “These natural gas will first be sold to ConocoPhillips, an American company, which will transport it to the newly completed LNG terminal in Brunsb ΓΌ ttel, northern Germany.”
Qatar’s natural gas delivery is planned to start in 2026, with an annual delivery of 2 million tons, which is used to replace the supply of Russian natural gas.
Originally, Germany’s annual natural gas consumption was about 100 billion cubic meters, about half of which was supplied by Russia. The annual supply of LNG under this contract is about 2.7 billion cubic meters of natural gas.
How to say, it’s a bit strange. The Beixi pipeline built was bombed and then transported by LNG ship.
The original good Russian natural gas pipeline supply is convenient and cheap, but now it has to be changed to LNG carrier supply, just like the water pipeline in the community has a problem, and the fire truck is used to supply water to the residents of the community.
Isn’t it a waste of time to take off your pants and fart?
The key is to pass through the Americans. I am a natural gas porter. I have better handling technology. Outsourcing can bring benefits to all levels. Chen Feiyu’s Ignite Me to Warm You should be performed by Germans.
In 2021, China will become the world’s largest importer of liquefied natural gas, importing from 27 countries with a total import volume of 81.4 million tons. The Chinese have long understood that energy must be imported in a decentralized manner.
It can not be denied that Qatar has a unique trading style: Qatar is the world’s largest exporter of liquefied natural gas, and first signed a 27 year long-term energy agreement with China when the German energy agreement was stranded. This is the longest natural gas supply agreement in history. Qatar Energy promises to provide 4 million tons of liquefied natural gas to Sinopec every year.
Then we signed a 15 year medium and long-term energy agreement with Germany. Germany talked for half a day and finally got a 15 year contract of 200 tons per year.
The Americans have face in front of the Germans and can further control the Germans. They do more at one stroke. Qatar has understood international politics and business.
Why should supply to Germany start in 2026?
The reason is simple. In terms of supply, the global LNG market has almost reached its limit, and there will be no new production line before 2026.
The natural gas under the new agreement with Germany comes from two gas fields in Qatar: North Field East and North Field South. The expansion project of the North Field is expected to be put into production in 2026.
In addition to the majority shareholder Qatar holding 75% of the shares, ConocoPhillips, Total Energy of France and Shell of the United Kingdom hold 25% of the shares of the North Tiannan project.
This is why Germans have to buy natural gas from ConocoPhillips. One business can earn you twice.
The Green Party claimed that it wanted green energy, closed nuclear power, and improved energy security. As a result, the energy minister who was born in the Green Party, Habak, found himself a second landlord, and the cheap energy supply was gone.
In the past few decades, Germany had a very good life. After the scars were healed, the pain was forgotten, and the dream of land hegemony in Europe was still in mind. As a result, since Aunt Mo stepped down, Germany has been operating without a smooth political environment and cheap energy.
In the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, he even tried to get down. Americans sell natural gas to make money, but when they change hands as intermediaries, they still make money. Germany is biased by political correctness. If they don’t buy the right one, they will buy the expensive one. The environmental protection goal has been achieved.
Germany may be the only fool in Europe. After Europe did not use Russian natural gas pipeline, an interesting phenomenon appeared, that is, the demand for LNG from Russia increased dramatically for a long time in the past.
The Economic Times reported that Europe is importing a record amount of Russian natural gas by sea. The European Union has agreed to limit the price of Russian natural gas. Is Russian natural gas unnecessary?
Only the Germans believed it, and suddenly found that Germany was the most expensive buyer in Europe.
Is this enough for democracy and freedom? Let’s not say whether it is expensive or not. Anyway, Germany has achieved energy conservation and emission reduction in advance, and the Green Party has won win thoroughly.
This German government is jointly governed by the Social Democratic Party, the Green Party and the Liberal Democratic Party, which are called traffic lights for short, and is in charge of 17 departments in Germany.
Among them, the most important Ministry of Finance is managed by the Liberal Democratic Party, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Economy are managed by the Green Party, and only the Ministry of National Defense is managed by the Social Democratic Party. However, German national defense is useless. Since World War II, there has been no national defense, all pointing to NATO and the United States garrison.
Although Schultz is the leader of Germany, only the departments of the Social Democratic Party listen to him, and he has no political influence. In addition, he can’t control diplomacy, economy, or even how to spend money. If others don’t listen to him, he has no choice. After all, it is a joint administration.
Belberk, the foreign minister from the Green Party, is always calling for sanctions against Russia. Habak, the economic minister from the Green Party, is even more stupid and naive. He publicly cries out that “Germany’s innocence towards China has ended… to decouple from China’s economy…”
Only he is the most naive. He is a philosophy student and a writer. His children’s story books are very popular with children. Germans say that his works are only suitable for children aged 6 to 8 in Germany. They don’t read them when they are over 9.
Anyway, in the past three months, 33 German enterprises with sales of more than 20 million euros have applied for bankruptcy. This is 74% higher than the same period last year, and more than all the major bankruptcy cases in 2021. Among them, Dr Schneider, with an annual turnover of 431 million euros and 4500 employees, is the largest German enterprise that went bankrupt in the third quarter.
Hey, what can Schultz do if such a guy manages the economy? I can only serve it cold.
Alas, if you feel sorry for the German people for a minute, then you can rub your stomach with laughter. Don’t say that the Middle East people have too much money.
