LNG giant Qatar Petroleum (QP) issued ‘invitation to tender’ packages for the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of facilities at the Ras Laffan Industrial City that will be part of the North Field Expansion (NFE) project.

The tender is for additional liquid products storage and loading facilities and Mono-Ethylene Glycol (MEG) storage and distribution facilities, Qatar Petroleum said in its statement.

New facilities covered under this tender include a new propane storage tank, vapor recovery compressors for propane and butane tank refrigeration, a plant condensate storage tank, a MEG storage tank and distribution system, a new liquid products export berth and liquid product lines from the main NFE plant location to the liquid products storage area.

Qatargas is entrusted with executing this mega-project on behalf of Qatar Petroleum.
