Qatar Kentz wins natural gas contract

SNC-Lavalin subsidiary Qatar Kentz has been awarded a four-year multi-million-dollar call-off contract, with a possible two-year extension, from Qatar Shell for its Pearl Gas-To-Liquids (GTL) onshore and offshore facilities in Qatar.

 

As EPCM (engineering, procurement, and construction management) and construction contractor for onshore and offshore Pearl GTL facilities, Kentz will manage the EPCM work for all services related to plant changes, as well as minor, base and medium projects.

 

This will include project management, engineering and specialist studies, procurement and logistics, construction and commissioning management, and the execution of construction works.

 

Located in Ras Laffan Industrial City, Pearl GTL is the world’s largest source of GTL products, capable of producing 140,000 barrels of GTL products each day.

 

The plant also produces 120,000 barrels per day of natural gas liquids and ethane. The new phase of the project will allow Qatar Shell to continue to enhance local development.

 

The project award follows the acquisition of Kentz by SNC-Lavalin on 22 August, 2014.
