Kentz Corporation, the holding company of the Kentz engineering and construction group, received a labour services contract for the Qatargas Laffan Refinery Phase 2 Project (LR2) in Qatar. This contract continues Kentz’s existing working relationship with Qatargas in supporting the management of this project over the next three years. The TSS business unit will execute this contract.
The Laffan Refinery 1 (LR1) currently produces 61,000 b/d of naphtha, 52,000 b/d of jet fuel, 24,000 b/d of gasoil and 9,000 b/d of liquid petroleum gas (LPG). This expansion project will process an additional 146,000 barrels a day (b/d) of condensate recovered from the one of the world’s largest non-associated gas fields, the North Field. The second phase of the Ras Laffan project will double the capacity of the current refinery.
Shane Dooley-Cullinane, regional managing director, Middle East, for Kentz commented, “We are pleased to build further on our relationship with Qatargas and to be awarded additional work on the Laffan Refinery project. This year has seen a number of strategic changes made to our Middle East and engineering businesses, and it is excellent to see a growing volume of awards within the region.”
