Under the contract, Worley will provide detailed engineering services to Samsung C&T for the project, which will support permanent storage of approximately 4.3 million metric tonnes of CO2 per annum.
Worley said in a statement that it will execute the work from its Qatar office, supported by Worley’s global integrated delivery center in India and additional expertise from teams in Australia.
Moreover, this contract follows Worley’s successful delivery of the front-end engineering design phase for the project.
Once operational, the LNG sequestration project will play a “key role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enabling a more sustainable energy system for the region,2 Worley said.
The firm did not provide the contract price.
In November 2025, Samsung C&T announced that it secured a major contract worth 1.9 trillion won ($1.3 billion) from QatarEnergy LNG to design and build a large-scale carbon compression and transport facility in Ras Laffan, Qatar.
Located about 80 kilometers north of Doha in Ras Laffan Industrial City, the project aims to capture and compress carbon dioxide emitted from nearby LNG liquefaction plants, remove moisture, and safely transport it through 20 kilometers of underground pipelines to a depleted gas reservoir for permanent geological storage.
Completion is targeted for 2030.
Expansion
QatarEnergy LNG currently operates 14 LNG production trains with a capacity of about 77 mtpa in Ras Laffan.
However, QatarEnergy is working on the giant North Field LNG expansion program, which includes the North Field South, North Field East, and North Field West projects.
Together, these will raise Qatar’s LNG production capacity in Ras Laffan from the current 77 mtpa to 142 mtpa in 2030.
In February 2024, QatarEnergy announced the North Field West project, which will add 16 mtpa of LNG to the overall expansion of the North Field.
Moreover, 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.
