Worley wins detailed engineering contract for QatarEnergy LNG CO2 sequestration project

Worley Limited has been awarded a contract by Samsung C&T Corporation to deliver detailed engineering services for the QatarEnergy LNG Carbon Dioxide Sequestration Project, a large-scale carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) development in Qatar tied to LNG operations.

The project is designed to support permanent storage of about 4.3 million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide per year and represents a major component of Qatar’s strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with LNG production.

Under the contract, Worley will provide detailed engineering services to Samsung C&T, which is serving as a primary contractor on the project. Engineering work will be led from Worley’s Qatar office, with additional support from the company’s Global Integrated Delivery center in India and specialist teams in Australia.

The award follows Worley’s earlier role delivering front-end engineering and design for the sequestration project. The company said the follow-on contract reinforces its position as a continuing partner on lower-carbon and emissions-reduction infrastructure tied to conventional energy supply.

“We’re proud to continue our collaboration with Samsung C&T on this landmark project,” said Chris Ashton, chief executive officer of Worley. “This award reflects our capability in CCUS and our commitment to supporting our customers as they invest in technologies that help decarbonize energy production.”

Project developers say the LNG CO2 sequestration system will capture and permanently store carbon dioxide that would otherwise be emitted, supporting lower lifecycle emissions from LNG production and processing. Once operational, the facility is expected to play a central role in regional decarbonization efforts while enabling continued growth in gas development and exports.
