RasGasExpansion – Qatar

Qatar's North Field is the world's largest connected gas reservoir. The sour gas is transported from the North Field to Ras Laffan on the coast via pipelines totalling 220 km in length (140,000 tons of pipe). The gas is then processed and fluidised in Ras Laffan, in order then to ship it to customers all over the world.

EUROPIPE produced and delivered the pipes. Due to the corrosive consistency of the gas, extremely demanding HIC and SSCC specifications needed to be fulfilled while casting and rolling the steel, and in the actual pipe manufacture.
