Qatargas Operating Co. Ltd. has let a contract to Saipem for additional scope of work within the North Field Production sustainability offshore project, about 80 km northeast of Qatar’s mainland (OGJ Online, Feb. 22, 2021). The contact is for two options related to rerouting hydrocarbons from the existing wellhead platform through new facilities, due to existing pipeline being decommissioned.
The activities comprise construction of two additional riser platforms, two additional connecting bridges with existing wellhead platforms, two corrosion resistant carbon steel cladded intra-field pipelines with an overall length of 13 km, and decommissioning of existing pipeline.
The additional scope of work is worth about $350 million.
