Qatar Takes FID on NFE Project Qatar Petroleum has taken the final investment decision for developing the North Field East project (NFE), the world’s largest LNG project, which will raise Qatar’s LNG production capacity from 77mn metric tons/year to 110mn mt/yr, it said on February 8. The project is expected to start production in the fourth quarter of 2025. Qatar Petroleum has awarded the key onshore engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract to a joint venture between Chiyoda Corp and Technip Energies. QP said it was close to agreeing the front-end engineering and design of the onshore facilities to Chiyoda in April 2019.
