McDermott announced the engineering, procurement, construction, and installation (EPCI) contract in a statement on Thursday.
The company did not provide the contract price.
McDermott said this new contract is in addition to the awards received by McDermott earlier for the NFS pipelines FEED, the NFS jackets EPCI, and the NFXP topsides and pipelines which included the NFS topsides.
The NFS infrastructure is designed to supply feed gas for two additional LNG trains and is part of the North Field Expansion project (NFXP), which will help increase the total LNG production in Qatar from the current 77 million tons per annum (MTPA) to 142 MTPA.
McDermott said the scope of the contract comprises EPCI of almost 250 kilometers of offshore and onshore gas pipelines connecting five new offshore wellhead platforms with two new onshore LNG trains in addition to subsea composite power and control cables.
The project will be managed from the McDermott Doha office with in-country fabrication support from the QFAB fabrication yard, and will be installed with McDermott’s inhouse marine assets, it said.
According to McDermott, it is now responsible for all of the offshore infrastructure associated with Qatar’s massive North Field Expansion, with the execution done predominantly in Qatar.
The North Field expansion program includes the NFS project and the North Field East (NFE) project.
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 NFE project and two are part of the NFS project.
In February, 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 last year.
QatarEnergy LNG, previously known as Qatargas and a unit of QatarEnergy, currently operates 14 LNG production trains with a capacity of about 77 MTPA in Ras Laffan.
Also, QatarEnergy’s partners in the expansion projects include Shell, ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil, TotalEnergies, Eni, Sinopec, CNPC, Sinopec, and CPC.
Technip and Chiyoda won the EPC award for the NFE project, while QatarEnergy awarded the contract for the NFS project to a joint venture of Technip Energies and Consolidated Contractors Company.
