DOHA, Qatar – Qatar Petroleum has succeeded Occidental Petroleum of Qatar Ltd. as operator of the Idd El-Shargi North Dome (ISND) and Idd El-Shargi South Dome (ISSD) offshore oil fields.
The development and production-sharing agreements (DPSA) with Occidental Petroleum of Qatar Ltd. for both fields expired on Oct. 6, 2019.
The companies signed the DPSA in 1994 for the management and operation of the ISND. The field was discovered in 1960 and lies 85 km (53 mi) off the eastern coast of Doha.
The company has offered continued employment to all Occidental personnel in Qatar.
In addition, QP has issued “Invitation to Tender” packages for EPC contracts for additional liquid products storage and loading facilities and mono-ethylene glycol storage and distribution facilities at Ras Laffan Industrial City.
These are needed to manage the increased volumes of associated liquids foreseen under the offshore North Field Expansion project. This involves the addition of four LNG trains which will expand Qatar’s LNG production from 77 MM to 110 MMt/yr by 2024.
