US-based Baker Hughes has secured a “major” contract from QatarEnergy for the North Field West (NFW) project, according to its first-quarter 2026 results. The award covers critical equipment for two LNG “mega trains”, including six gas turbines, 12 centrifugal compressors and integrated power systems, which are central to gas liquefaction. The deal highlights continued investment in large-scale LNG infrastructure despite short-term disruptions. Expansion plans The North Field West project forms part of Qatar's broader strategy to increase LNG production capacity from 77 million tonnes per year to 142 million tonnes per year once all expansion phases are completed. The NFW phase alone is expected to add around 16 million tonnes per year through two new production lines. QatarEnergy has already awarded engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts for the project to an international consortium, with first output previously expected towards the end of the decade.
