McDermott has been awarded an engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) contract by QatarEnergy LNG, for the North Field South (NFS) offshore pipelines and cables project in Qatar.

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 the State of Qatar from the current 77 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) to 142 mtpa.

Mike Sutherland, McDermott’s senior vice president for offshore Middle East says: ‘McDermott is unique in Qatar in that we have been operating and supporting the offshore energy industry since its early developments in the 1990s. Consequently, we have a long history within the energy sector there and have followed its growth from that time until today.’

Neil Gunnion, McDermott’s Qatar country manager and vice president of operations adds: ‘We’re honoured to receive the trust of QatarEnergy and QatarEnergy LNG to deliver some of their largest and most strategically important projects. McDermott is now responsible for all of the offshore infrastructure associated with Qatar’s massive North Field Expansion, with the execution done predominantly in Qatar.’
