Madrid-based contractor Técnicas Reunidas has been awarded an engineering, procurement, and construction contract by Qatar Petroleum, said local reports on Wednesday, August 25.
The contract is part of Qatar Petroleum’s North Field Expansion Project, said the reports.
Técnicas Reunidas will reportedly act as the EPC contractor for the expansion of existing storage and loading facilities of the liquid products that are condensate, propane and butane in the project.
It will also look into the expansion of import facilities for Mono-Ethylene Glycol within Ras Laffan Industrial City, as well as other ancillary facilities and pipelines serving the North Field Expansion Project.
These new facilities are expected to be utilized to handle liquid products from the four new LNG trains comprising the North Field East project, which is scheduled to start before the end of 2025.
The facilities will also reportedly support two new LNG trains comprising the North Field South project.
As part of the contract, Técnicas Reunidas will perform the detailed engineering work in Qatar.
The award of this contract is the culmination of front-end engineering and design work that began in early 2018, and represents another milestone to deliver on Qatar Petroleum’s commitment to increase the country’s LNG production capacity.
When completed, the NFE project will increase Qatar’s LNG production capacity from 77 million tons per annum pr MTPA to 110 MTPA, while the NFS project will increase the country’s LNG output capacity from 110 MTPA to 126 MTPA.
