CTCI/Samsung awarded US$417 mn EPC ethylene contract by Ras Laffan Petrochemicals in Qatar

CTCI Corporation has announced that it has won an EPC contract with Ras Laffan Petrochemicals (RLP) for the Qatar RLP Ethylene Storage EPC project. This project includes the construction of a 30,000-tonne ethylene storage facilities and associated utility infrastructure. The total value of the project is US$417 million, and the contract period for the storage unit is estimated to be 34 months. For the execution of this project, CTCI is partnering with Samsung E&A as part of the Samsung E&A CTCI joint venture (SCJV).

Ras Laffan Petrochemicals (RLP) is a joint venture between QatarEnergy and Chevron Phillips Chemical. The scope of the ethylene storage project includes constructing storage facilities and utility infrastructure (U&O) in Ras Laffan Industrial City, located 80 km north of Doha, Qatar’s capital. This project is in the same industrial complex as the RLP Ethylene Project awarded to SCJV in 2023, which is currently under execution. The ethylene storage unit is designed to serve as an adaptable solution, acting as a temporary stopover during plant maintenance and repair periods, as well as in emergencies, while allowing flexible handling of ethylene from both upstream and downstream suppliers.

With CTCI’s extensive experience in petrochemical facility engineering, the company delivered a reliable performance during the RLP Ethylene Project in 2023, earning the trust of RLP, which has now resulted in another project award for this ethylene storage facility.

By leveraging its strengths in responsive and efficient service, says it is CTCI well positioned to successfully execute the project based on the trust of the client and its partnership with Samsung E&A.
