Saipem secures $4.5 billion contract from Qatargas

The award represents the largest single offshore contract by total value in Saipem’s history

Saipem has been awarded a record-setting contract by Qatargas for the North Field Production Sustainability Offshore Compression Complexes Project – EPC 2 located offshore Qatar. The contract value amounts to approximately $4.5 billion, Saipem announced on Wednesday.

The award represents the largest single offshore contract by total value in the company’s history. It follows the award in early 2021 related to offshore facilities for extraction and transportation of natural gas for the same field and demonstrates the continuity and the quality of Saipem’s performance in Qatar.

The scope of work encompasses the engineering, procurement, fabrication and installation of two offshore natural gas compression complexes aimed at sustaining the production of the North Field, including two of the largest fixed steel jacket compression platforms ever built, flare platforms, interconnecting bridges, living quarters and interface modules.

To execute this project, Saipem will leverage on its own assets, know-how and competences on offshore engineering, installation and fabrication, as well as its capability to maximize local content.

Saipem was ranked as one of the top EPC contractors in Oil & Gas Middle East’s top 25 EPC contractors list that was recently released.
