Project Profile
Value: US$12,000 million
Location: Ras Laffan Industry City
Capacity: 10 million tons per annum (3 LNG trains combined amount)
Start-up Year: 2015
Upstream Gas Reserves: 36,000 billion
The project will see the development of Qatar’s onshore component of the plateau maintenance project for Qatargas I. The project involves drilling four new wells and completing two existing wells in the Khuff 4 reservoir, upgrading the offshore facilities to process the extra gas capacity and constructing a new sulphur unit to handle the extra sulphur storage. The EPC contract will run for three years and four months and covers a sulphur recovery unit, offshore drilling and modification works. The project aims to handle the future increase in the amount of sulphur produced as a by-product of drilling for gas in a new section of the Khuff reservoir in the North field. The project aims to maintain the capacity of LNG from the complex at 10 million tonnes a year until 2030. The bulk of LNG from Qatargas I is currently delivered to customers in Japan and Spain. It consists of three LNG trains with capacity of 3.2 million tonnes a year (t/y) each. The current capacity of 10 million t/y was achieved through a previous expansion project completed in 2005. The shareholders of Qatargas I are Qatar Petroleum (65% interest), ExxonMobil (10% interest), Total (10% interest), Mitsui & Company (7.5% interest) and Marubeni Corporation (7.5% interest).
