The three platforms installed for Qatargas 2 are remotely operated from the North Field Bravo (pictured), while the three, which are shared between Qatargas 3 and Qatargas 4, are operated remotely from the onshore control room. Natural gas from offshore is transferred to shore with the associated condensate via subsea pipelines.

SAN DONATO MILANESE, Italy—Qatargas has awarded Saipem a $4.5 billion contract for the North Field Production Sustainability Offshore Compression Complexes Project – EPC 2, off Qatar’s northeast coast.
The work scope covers engineering, procurement, fabrication and installation of two offshore natural gas compression complexes to sustain production of the North Field, including what Saipem claims will be two of the largest fixed steel jacket compression platforms ever built, along with flare platforms, interconnecting bridges, living quarters and interface modules.
