TotalEnergies has been selected as the first international partner in the 16 Mt/year North Field South (NFS) LNG project in Qatar. The company will obtain a 9.375% participating interest in the NFS project (out of a total 25% interest available for international partners) while the national company QatarEnergy will hold the remaining 75%. TotalEnergies was previously chosen as the first partner for the 32 Mt/year North Field East (NFE) LNG project.
Together, NFE and NFS form the wider North Field Expansion project to increase LNG production from the North Field, adding 48 Mt/year to Qatar’s export capacity and bringing it to 126 Mt/year by 2028. The upstream part of the project will develop the southern area of the North Field with five platforms, 50 wells and gas pipelines to the onshore processing plant. Downstream, there will be two 8 Mt/year liquefaction trains.
