The North Field South (NFS) project is part of the larger North Field Expansion project. The project is divided into two phases, with phase one involving the development of the North Field East (NFE), while phase two will see to the development of the NFS. It will include five production platforms, 50 wells and gas pipelines to an onshore processing complex.
The project involves the construction of a new gas-fired Combined Cycle Gas Turbine — CCGT unit with a capacity of approximately 600–650 MW, developed to increase power generation capacity and improve the efficiency of the existing plant. Operated by JSC Thermal Power Plants and built with Mitsubishi Power technology, the new unit will contribute to the production of electricity and heat while reducing natural gas consumption.
The project involves fitting scrubbers onto container ships totaling a capacity of 8.09 million TEU. This initiative aims to comply with a new regulation enforced by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) since January 1st, 2020, which mandates an 85% reduction in sulfur emissions from shipping companies. The goal is to mitigate the sector’s environmental impact and enhance air quality. Scrubbers offer an effective solution for controlling emissions from large vessels by filtering exhaust gases produced during fuel combustion, thereby reducing pollution.
