• QP has awarded a contract to Saipem of Italy for the main package of the estimated $3bn North Field Production Sustainability (NFPS) project. Under main package, Saipem will be responsible for the EPCI of various offshore facilities for the extraction and transportation of natural gas. These facilities include platforms, supporting and connecting structures, subsea cables, and anti-corrosion internally cladded pipelines. The contract also includes the decommissioning of a pipeline and other significant modifications to existing offshore facilities. Saipem plans to use the DE HE vessel to undertake pipe-laying and lifting operations in water depths of approximately 65m. (March 2021)
• Qatargas has completed fabrication of wellhead platform jacket (WHP12N) for the NFPS Project. The jacket will serve as the steel frame to support a topside structure as part of a fixed offshore production platform. The new jacket is one of the several new offshore structures that will be installed to ensure that production from the existing LNG trains is sustained at 77 MTPA. The new jacket is the first support drilling structure ever to be manufactured in Qatar for Qatargas. Qatargas executed the initial jacket fabrication project on behalf of Qatargas 2 shareholders, which include Qatar Petroleum, ExxonMobil and TotalEnergies. The EPCI contract for the WHP12N Jacket was awarded to Saipem last year. (August 2021)
• Qatargas has received bids for the development of gas compression facilities as a part of the NFPS project in Qatar. Hyundai Heavy Industries is among the bidders who have submitted bids. The companies competing for the contract include a consortium of Technip Energies of France / Samsung Heavy Industries, and Daewoo Engineering & Construction. The contract scope includes installation of two gas compression complexes, installation of jackets and topsides, and construction of associated facilities. (April 2022)

• Hyundai Heavy Industries of South Korea and McDermott of US are among the bidders who have submitted bids for the development of gas compression facilities for NFPS. Currently, bids are under evaluation. The contract scope includes installation of two gas compression complexes, installation of jackets and topsides, and construction of associated facilities.
