QatarEnergy has awarded a contract worth $418 million to a consortium of Samsung E&A and CTCI to build ethylene storage facilities for the estimated Ras Laffan Petrochemicals Project. Samsung E&A of South Korea has signed the $215mn contract with Ras Laffan Petrochemicals (RLP) of Qatar for the Ethylene Storage Plant, while the CTCI’s share is about $202 million. The project’s scope of work is to build ethylene storage facilities and utility infrastructure (U&O) at an industrial complex in Ras Laffan, north of Doha. It is located within the same complex as the RLP ethylene project awarded to Samsung E&A in 2023 and is currently under execution. Samsung E&A is responsible for the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) of key equipment, including 30,000 metric ton storage tanks, compressors, and pumps. The contract period is estimated to be 34 months. (November 2024) |

Project Scope |
---|
The project scope involves setting up of a new petrochemicals project in the north of Doha in Ras Laffan Industrial City.
The project consists of two major packages: Package 1 - The ethane cracker Package 2 - The polyethylene derivative units.
The complex will have an ethane cracker with a nameplate capacity of 1.9mn tonnes of ethylene per year, making it the Middle East’s largest ethane cracker and one of the largest in the world.
The complex will also include two high-density polyethylene derivative units, which will raise Qatar’s current polyethylene production capacity by 82% by the fourth quarter of 2025.
The project will optimize the utilization of ethane produced from the North Field LNG expansion project as well as from existing ethane producing projects. It will also consolidate Qatar’s position among the world’s leading petrochemicals producers. |
Project Structure: |
The project is owned, operated and managed by Ras Laffan Petrochemicals (RLP), a joint venture between Qatar Energy and a subsidiary of Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC. QatarEnergy holds the majority 70% stake in the project. The Woodlands, Texas-based Chevron Phillips Chemical Company, equally owned indirectly by Chevron Corporation and Phillips 66, is one of the world's top producers of olefins and polyolefins and a leading supplier of aromatics, alpha olefins, styrenics, specialty chemicals, plastic piping and polymer resins. |
