A joint venture led by Technip Energies in partnership with Consolidated Contractors Co (CCC), has won an engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) contract from QatarEnergy for the onshore facilities of the North Field South Project (NFS).
The EPCC will cover the delivery of two mega trains, each with a capacity of 8 mill tonnes per annum of LNG. The project will also include a large CO2 carbon capture and sequestration facility of 1.5 mill tonnes per annum, leading to 25% plus reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, compared to similar LNG facilities, the company claimed.
This expansion project will produce around 16 mill tonnes per annum of additional LNG, increasing Qatar’s total production from 110 to 126 mill tonnes per annum.
Arnaud Pieton, Technip Energies CEO, commented: “We are extremely honoured to have been awarded by QatarEnergy this mega LNG project, along with our long-standing partner CCC, a leading construction company for LNG trains.
“This award is a testament to the trust, extent, and strength of our relationship with QatarEnergy. This new project also reflects our leadership in the LNG market, as well as our proven ability to integrate technologies towards low carbon LNG, critical in solving the trilemma for affordable, available and sustainable energy,” he said.
Technip Energies also said that it had been involved in Qatar with a local presence since 1986, which is a strategic country for the company.
