The North Field East (NFE) project is an expansion of the North Field, the world’s biggest single non-associated natural gas field, offshore the north-east Qatar peninsula. Formerly known as the North field expansion project, the NFE project is expected to increase Qatar’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) production capacity by 43% from 77 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) to 110Mtpa. The first gas from the $28.75bn project is expected to be produced by 2025. Total production is expected to be 1.4 million barrels of oil equivalent a day. The project is in line with Qatar’s National Vision 2030, which aims for more sustainable development by 2030.
The main scope of the EPC-3 Package is a further expansion of the liquid storage and loading facilities will be enabled for additional propane and butane, light naphtha, and field condensate production from the two future additional LNG trains that are planned for the North Field South project. In addition, existing MEG storage facilities will be expanded to support existing offshore production.
