Contractors have submitted commercial bids to QatarEnergy for a project to add a fifth natural gas liquids (NGL) train at its NGL complex in Qatar’s Mesaieed Industrial City.
The objective of the project, which is estimated to be worth $2.5bn, is to build a fifth NGL train (NGL-5) with the capacity to process up to 350 million cubic feet a day of rich associated gas from QatarEnergy’s offshore and onshore oil fields.
Contractors submitted commercial bids for engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) works on the NGL-5 project by the deadline of 15 June, according to sources.
The following contractors are understood to be participating in the project’s main contract tendering process:
- CTCI Corporation (Taiwan)
- Larsen & Toubro Energy Hydrocarbon (India)
- McDermott (US)
- Saipem (Italy)
- Samsung E&A (South Korea)
- Tecnicas Reunidas (Spain)
- Tecnimont (Italy)
QatarEnergy initially set a deadline of the end of May for the submission of prices for the project.
MEED previously reported that QatarEnergy had received technical bids for the project from contractors by the deadline of 13 April.
QatarEnergy issued the expression of interest (EoI) document for the NGL-5 project in early June of last year, with contractors submitting responses by 24 June 2024, MEED previously reported.
QatarEnergy eventually issued the main EPC tender for the NGL-5 project in November 2024.
In the EoI document, QatarEnergy said that it had begun site preparation works for the project in the fourth quarter of 2023 and expected work to be completed in the first quarter of 2025.
Turkish contractor Iris Insaat is performing site preparation work on the project, according to regional projects tracker MEED Projects.
QatarEnergy intends to start operations at the NGL-5 facility by the second quarter of 2028.
Project scope
Associated gas from the PS1, PS2 and PS3 offshore fields and the Dukhan onshore field is processed at existing facilities in the NGL complex at Mesaieed – the FSP, NGL-1 and Qapco ERU units.
The planned NGL-5 facility will replace these three units at the Mesaieed complex and process gas from the PS1, PS2 and Dukhan fields.
The scope of work on the project involves EPC work on units for the following functions:
- Feed gas compression
- Slug handling
- Gas sweetening
- Dehydration
- Mercury removal
- NGL fractionation
- NGL recovery
- Product treatment
- Propane refrigeration
- Acid gas enrichment
- Sulphur recovery
- Anti-flaring
- Utilities
- Boil-off gas recovery
- Drains and collection networks
- Effluent water treatment plant
- Carbon dioxide treatment and sequestration/ export
- Brownfield modifications
- Product rundown pipelines
QatarEnergy is understood to have divided the scope of work on the NGL-5 project into five EPC packages.
