The trains, each with a nominal capacity of 7.8 million tonnes of liquefied natural gas (LNG) per annum, will bring the total production capacity at Qatargas to 42mtpa by around the end of the decade.
The installation of the refrigerant compressors on Train 6 marks a major achievement in the construction. The compressors are used in the process of re-cooling and liquefying the gas to LNG.
For Train 7, the erection of the pipe racks follows extensive underground preparations including the installation of very large cooling water pipelines through which a man can easily walk. Installation of the utilities units which will support the running of the process trains by providing power and other services, has also started.
In order to capture substantial synergies, the work at the Qatargas site in Ras Laffan Industrial City (RLC) is being undertaken by a joint asset development team established by the Qatargas 3 and Qatargas 4 ventures.
The Qatargas 3 venture is owned by Qatar Petroleum, ConocoPhillips and Mitsui
and the Qatargas 4 venture sponsors are Qatar Petroleum and Royal Dutch Shell.
