Worley Limited has won a large carbon dioxide sequestration Project in Qatar with Samsung C&T Corporation on a large contract for Worley CCS.
The award includes engineering services (in detail) of the QatarEnergy LNG Carbon Dioxide Sequestration Project. The plant is aimed at long-term storage of about 4.3 million metric tonnes of CO 2 annually.
This scale is an indication that there will be a definitive move towards decarbonisation in terms of industry in the area. The Project is part of the overarching sustainability approach and production of LNG that is cleaner in Qatar.
Industry analysts consider the award to be a confidence that Worley has in its carbon management. Other international engineering relations in Asia, Australia, and the Middle East are also strengthened through the contract.

Project Scope Strengthens Engineering Delivery
As per the contract, Worley will give elaborate engineering services to Samsung C&T in various technical fields. This will be done mainly through an office in Worley in Qatar.
The Global Integrated Delivery Center of the Company, located in India, will also provide additional support.
Technical skills will be provided by specialist teams in Australia. This decentralized model ensures quicker schedules and cost-effectiveness. It is also enhanced in the transfer of knowledge across regions.
This global coordination has become the norm in complicated energy infrastructure Projects.
Why Is The Samsung C&T CO2 Storage Project Significant For Emissions Reduction?
Samsung C&T Co2 storage Project is unique due to its large capture and sequestration capacity. The LNG operations can be materially reduced in storage of 4.3 million metric tonnes of CO 2 per annum.
This cut helps in the international climate goals and national policy promises. Hard-to-abate industries are turning into hard-to-abateer technologies that depend on carbon capture, utilisation, and storage technologies.
The production of LNG is critical in the Asian and European energy security. Cleaner production techniques have high market value respectively.
Investors are now focusing on those Projects that have quantifiable environmental impacts. The Qatar development makes it a low-carbon and energy solutions leader in the region.

Worley Builds On Proven Carbon Capture Experience
This award is in light of the successful completion of the front-end engineering design stage of the Project by Worley. That previous work was setting technical guidelines and technical feasibility standards.
The next-stage is the next step in the process of securing the confidence of the clients in the capabilities to capture carbon in the Worley Project. The Company has earned a reputation for providing complex decarbonisation assets.
Its business comprises renewables, hydrogen, and CCUS infrastructure across the globe. This kind of experience minimises the risks of execution by customers. It also improves the bankability and regulatory approvals.
How Will The Facility Operate Once Commissioned?
When this is operational, the captured carbon dioxide will be transported and injected into a safe geological formation. The procedure allows underground containment in the long run.
Integrity of storage will be monitored, and the safety of the environment. The design of the site is carried out in an attempt by engineers to reduce the risks of leaks.
Efficiency of operations has continued to be the focus of the reduction of lifecycle emissions. These initiatives develop a consistent avenue of enduring sequestration.
The model can be used as a prototype for future LNG hubs in the world.
Leadership Highlights Strategic Collaboration
Chris Ashton, Worley Chief Executive Officer, called the Project a breakthrough partnership with Samsung C&T.
He mentioned that the award demonstrated Worley’s ability in CCUS and dedication to assisting customers in decarbonising energy production. The message supports the position of the firm in the world energy transition.
Observers of the market anticipate the occurrence of similar contracts as governments tighten up on the rules regarding emissions.
The engineering partnering business with CCUS is in demand. The Worley CCS contract consequently enhances the long-term presence of revenue and positioning in the international markets.
Ashton hailed the Project a landmark partnership advancing Worley and Samsung collaboration. [Worley]
