LNG

US energy engineering company McDermott has been awarded two contracts by the leading LNG producer Qatar for the Arabian Gulf nation’s largest oil field.

Qatar Petroleum said the fabrication has been completed of the first two steel tubular structures required for offshore facilities as part of its North Field Expansion (NFE) project to increase Qatari output in a first stage to 110 million tonnes per annum of LNG from the current 77 MTPA.
