Minister of State for Energy Affairs HE Saad Sherida al Kaabi has announced the awarding of Qatar’s two significant LNG contracts at a high-profile conference in China.
These contracts are related to Qatar’s LNG expansion project designed to enhance its capabilities by increasing the LNG production capacity from 77 to 110 million tons per year by 2024.
Kaabi, who is also the President and CEO of Qatar Petroleum, said American engineering firm McDermott got the contract for the fabrication and installation of offshore jackets.
The contract for early site works required to prepare the site of the four new 8 mtpa LNG mega-trains in Ras Laffan Industrial City went to a joint venture between Athens-based Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC) and local contractor Teyseer Trading and Contracting Company, he said.
Kaabi was addressing the 19th International Conference and Exhibition on Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG2019) in Shanghai.
“We are in the tendering phase for eight rigs for the development drilling. The front-end engineering and design of the onshore facilities with Chiyoda will be completed in the next few days. The main invitations to tenders for the engineering, procurement and construction of the onshore facilities will be issued before the end of this month,” he said.
“In a few weeks, qualified ship yards will be invited to participate in a tender for the provision of LNG ship construction slots for the LNG shipping fleet required for the LNG expansion project,” he added.
Kaabi said Qatar was partnering with several countries to ensure the security of their energy supplies and the sustainability of their economic growth.
“As the largest LNG producer, we are also expanding our capacity in many parts of the world. This includes adding 16 MTA from our Golden Pass LNG export project in the United States with our long-term strategic partner ExxonMobil.
Kaabi was addressing the conference’s opening session on the global LNG outlook, alongside ExxonMobil Corporation Chairman and CEO Darren Woods and Chevron Corporation Chairman and CEO Mike Wirth.
