QatarEnergy awards contract for North Field South project
QatarEnergy awarded an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract to Technip Energies for onshore infrastructure as part of the North Field South (NFS) project.
The award, valued by the service provider at $10 billion, will cover construction and delivery of two mega trains, each with a capacity of 8 million tonnes/year (tpy) of LNG, with associated infrastructure for gas treatment, natural gas liquids recovery, as well as helium extraction and refining within Ras Laffan Industrial City.
NFS, together with the North Field East (NFE) project, will increase Qatar’s LNG production capacity to 125 million tpy from the current 77 million tpy.
QatarEnergy holds a 75% interest in the NFS project and has signed partnership agreements with TotalEnergies, Shell, and ConocoPhillips for the remaining 25%.
