Técnicas Reunidas has secured a significant contract worth €516 million ($556m) from Qatar Energy. This contract entails the execution of engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) activities at the North Field, the largest natural gas field globally not linked to an oil field. Situated in the northeastern part of the Qatari peninsula, the North Field project is set to witness substantial advancements courtesy of this partnership.

The Spanish firm will be responsible for an array of critical tasks, encompassing the establishment of pipelines, interconnections, auxiliary systems, and other complementary elements for the off plot liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities.

Noteworthy is the emphasis placed on the LNG dewatering pipelines, the boiloff gas (BOG) return, and utility pipelines that will forge connections between the southern reaches of the industrial city of Ras Laffan and novel storage tanks, along with the export infrastructure situated in the northern precincts, as confirmed by sources such as Europa Press.

In addition to the primary components, the agreement encompasses the activation of fresh LNG tanks, alongside dedicated LNG loading points, BOG compressors, and interconnected equipment.

The ambit of Técnicas Reunidas’ involvement also extends to ongoing ventures, including the expansion of storage, distribution, and connected systems for condensate, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and methane gas within the larger North Field expansion initiative.

Técnicas Reunidas is concurrently engaged in a collaborative effort with Wison Engineering for the execution of EPC operations tied to a sulphur treatment facility, yet another crucial facet of the overarching North Field endeavour.

North Field boasts a capacity that equates to a substantial 10% of the planet’s recognized natural gas reserves, positioning Qatar as the third-ranking nation worldwide concerning verified reserves.

Reflecting on this development, Técnicas Reunidas expressed that this achievement serves to fortify its ongoing partnership with QatarEnergy, in light of the firm’s extensive participation in the North Field expansion project since the onset of 2021.
