Qatar continues to consolidate its leading position in the international energy market, thanks in part to the development projects of the North Field gas reservoir, the world’s largest natural gas field, owned by the state-owned company Qatargas.
The North Field Production Sustainability EPCL Project and the North Field Expansion Project (NFXP) represent two of the most ambitious and crucial initiatives for the country’s energy sector. Both projects aim to ensure sustainable and continuous natural gas production. The EPCL Project focuses on the engineering, procurement, construction, and installation (EPCI) of offshore export pipelines and related onshore works. In parallel, the North Field Expansion Project (NFXP) aims to increase the country’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) production capacity from 77 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) to 110 Mtpa, further consolidating Qatar’s position as a leader in the global LNG market.
Resinex is playing a key role in both projects by providing complete floating systems for pipeline deployment to two major operators in the sector: Saipem and McDermott.
In 2022, Resinex supplied over 300 Pipe Deployment Floats (PDF) for the North Field Production Sustainability Project EPCL, with a total net buoyancy of 1510 tonnes and an operational depth of 80 meters for two years. These floats were delivered to the operator in just three months. For the North Field Expansion in 2024, another 300+ PDFs were required, with a total net buoyancy of 800 tonnes at 30 meters depth, and the supply was completed in just two months. Resinex’s presence in the pipeline deployment area is now well-established, backed by over thirty years of experience.
