Baker Hughes to supply refrigerant compressors for Qatari NFS project
Baker Hughes has won an order from QatarEnergy to supply two main refrigerant compressors (MRCs) for the North Field South (NFS) project, which will be executed by Qatargas, it said on April 3.
The MRCs are part of two LNG trains representing 16mn metric tons/year of additional capacity that is estimated to further boost Qatar’s LNG production capacity to 126mn mt/yr.

Each MRC train will consist of three Frame 9E DLN Ultra Low NOx gas turbines and six centrifugal compressors across two LNG trains for a total scope of supply of six gas turbines to drive 12 centrifugal compressors.
The North Field is the world’s single largest non-associated natural gas field. The NFS project, owned by QatarEnergy in partnership with a number of international oil companies, and operated by Qatargas, is the second phase of the North Field Expansion project, which was announced in 2017.
When fully completed, it will increase Qatar’s LNG production capacity from 110mn mt/yr, which will be achieved by the end of the first phase of North Field East expansion in 2025, to 126mn mt/yr by 2027.
