The North Field Expansion project will increase liquefied natural gas (LNG) production capacity from 77 to 110 million tons per annum for Qatargas Operating Company Limited (Qatargas), the world's largest LNG company.
Qatargas produces and supplies the globe with 77 million metric tons of LNG annually from across its four existing liquefaction facilities. Headquartered in Doha, Qatar, the company maintains its upstream assets in Ras Laffan, Qatar, and is developing the North Field Expansion (NFE) project. The NFE project will increase production of molten and granulated sulphur at Ras Laffan facilities. As a subconsultant, Moffatt & Nichol provided support services for the pre-front-end engineering design (FEED), which included studies to determine the ultimate capacity of the common sulphur plant, future expansion options, and ship loading options at Berth GB102. For the subsequent FEED phase, Moffatt & Nichol’s professional design services included concept selection, terminal sizing and capacity studies, marine berth studies, building design, 3D model development, solids handling, cost and schedule, and updates to the pre-FEED deliverables. Professional services were also provided for quay marine, civil, process, and electrical design.
