Qatargas Signs Comprehensive Five-year Support and Service Agreement for Expanding Lng Production Facility
Dec 19 2008
Under the five-year agreement, Emerson will provide asset management services, advanced skills training, and a comprehensive parts management programme. Emerson has also established a dedicated team of experienced engineers who are residents in Qatar, to work closely day-to-day on-site at the Qatargas facility in Ras Laffan with their Qatargas counterparts. Emerson already has a long term alliance in place with Qatargas for the supply of its digital automation solutions, including PlantWeb® digital plant architecture and smart instrumentation.
When completed and operating, the four new LNG liquefaction and mega trains, at Qatargas, Ras Laffan, are expected to create the world`s largest capacity for LNG, each delivering at an annual rate of 7.8 million tons.
âOur latest agreement with Qatargas demonstrates the continued commitment by Emerson to invest in Qatar and support their aggressive schedule to produce and export more than 42 million tons of LNG by the end of the decade,â said Steven A. Sonnenberg, president of Emerson Process Management. âWe have established a regional centre in Doha and are investing in service and training facilities to expand support to Qatargas.â
Qatargas, who pioneered the fast-growing LNG business in Qatar, now owns and operates a world-class onshore LNG plant utilising natural gas from the North Field in the Arabian Gulf, and today markets and exports LNG and associated condensate worldwide.
"We originally selected Emerson as our main instrumentation and controls contractor and supplier because the company is a world-class automation leader that emphasises project and operations needs, including continuous improvement and long-term operational support," said Fred Smeenk, Chief Operating Officer-Operations of Qatargas. âThis new agreement shows Emerson`s continued willingness to collaborate and help to secure our future success."
