Qatar Petroleum has issued the ‘Invitation to Tender’ for the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) works at Ras Laffan Industrial City, an industrial hub located 80km north of Doha, Qatar.
The company has issued the tender for the construction of additional liquid products storage and loading facilities and Mono-Ethylene Glycol (MEG) storage and distribution facilities, which will be part of the North Field Expansion (NFE) project.
Qatar Energy Affairs Minister and Qatar Petroleum president & CEO Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi said: “The release of this tender package reflects the continuing progress Qatar Petroleum is making on the expansion of our LNG production capacity.
“With the volume of associated liquid products the NFE project will generate from offshore production and onshore gas processing, it was necessary to expand our existing storage and loading facilities. The unique approach in our contracting strategy for the multiple EPC packages allows us to match the execution expertise in the EPC contracting community to this specific scope of work.”
