This is the last in a series of three expansion projects that will raise Qatar’s production from 77 to 142 million tons per annum (mtpa).
According to a QatarEnergy statement, the EPC contract was awarded to a joint venture made up of Technip Energies, Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC), and Gulf Asia Contractor (GAC).
Technip Energies, the leader of the joint venture, said in a separate statement that the “major” contract is worth more than 1 billion euro ($1.18 billion) of revenue.
The scope of the onshore EPC contract includes two LNG “mega” trains with a combined production capacity of 16 mtpa, as well as associated facilities for gas treatment, natural gas liquids recovery, and helium extraction.
In addition to LNG production, the project is expected to produce about 175,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day of condensate, ethane, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
Similar to North Field East (NFE) and North Field South (NFS), NFW will capture and sequestrate an additional 1.1 mtpa of CO2 to bring the total to 2.2 mtpa from NFS and NFW combined.
The first LNG cargo from the NFW project is expected to be produced by the end of 2031.
In February 2021, Technip Energies, in a joint venture with the Japanese company Chiyoda, won the contract for the engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning of the onshore facilities of the NFE project.
This contract covers the delivery of four trains, each with a capacity of 8 mtpa of LNG.
QatarEnergy has awarded the $10 billion engineering, procurement, and construction contract for the NFS project to a joint venture of Technip Energies and CCC.
The scope covers the construction of two LNG trains, each with a capacity of 8 mtpa.
