Technip Energies said on Monday it had been awarded a “significant” detailed engineering design contract by L&T Energy Hydrocarbon for NFPS COMP 4.
A “significant” award for Technip Energies is a contract award representing between 50 million euros ($57 million) and 250 million eros ($285 million) of revenue.
Under this contract, Technip Energies, having completed the front-end engineering and design (FEED) phase, will provide detailed engineering design for two offshore compression complexes.
Technip Energies said each will comprise large offshore platforms, flare platforms, interconnected bridges, and other associated structures.
In March, India’s engineering and construction firm L&T said it had secured the offshore contract from LNG producer QatarEnergy LNG, a unit of QatarEnergy.
This deal, worth more than $1.75 billion, is the largest single contract ever received by L&T.
Giant LNG expanion
QatarEnergy is working on the giant North Field LNG expansion program, which includes the North Field South and North Field West projects. Together, these will raise Qatar’s LNG production capacity from the current 77 mtpa to 142 mtpa in 2030.
The first two projects include six mega trains, each with a production capacity of 8 mtpa of LNG. Four of these are part of the North Field East expansion project, and two are part of the North Field South expansion project.
In February 2024, QatarEnergy also announced the North Field West project which will add 16 mtpa of LNG to the overall expansion of the North Field.
QatarEnergy officially started constructing its North Field expansion project in the giant Ras Laffan complex in October 2023.
QatarEnergy LNG, previously known as Qatargas, currently operates 14 LNG production trains with a capacity of about 77 mtpa in Ras Laffan.
Also, QatarEnergy’s partners in the expansion project are Shell, ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil, TotalEnergies, Eni, Sinopec, and CNPC.
Technip and Chiyoda won the EPC award for the North Field East project, while QatarEnergy awarded the contract for the North Field South project to a joint venture of Technip Energies and Consolidated Contractors Company.
