QP issues tender for North Field LNG storage, loading facilities

Qatar Petroleum said it has invited bids for engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) work to expand its liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage, and the loading and export facilities for its North Field Expansion project.

The tender package is for EPC work for three LNG storage tanks, compressors to recover tank boil off gas during storage and jetty boil off gas during LNG vessel loading, QP said.

The tender would also include LNG rundown lines from the LNG trains to the LNG storage area as well as two additional LNG berths, with an option for a third LNG berth. (Reporting by Asma Alsharif; Writing by Rania El Gamal; Editing by Louise Heavens)
