Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has recently made headlines by securing a monumental contract that could reshape its future in the energy sector. The company’s Hydrocarbon Business, known as L&T Energy Hydrocarbon (LTEH), has been awarded the Ultra Mega Offshore Contract for the North Field Production Sustainability Offshore Compression Project (NFPS COMP 4) from QatarEnergy LNG. This significant achievement represents the largest single contract ever attained by L&T, a milestone that underscores its growing influence in the industry.
Major Project Details
The contract entails an extensive range of responsibilities, including engineering, procurement, fabrication, installation, and commissioning. L&T will be working on two offshore compression complexes, each featuring:
- Large offshore platforms equipped with compression and power generation facilities
- Living quarters for personnel
- Flare platforms to manage excess gas
- Interconnected bridges and additional associated structures
These complexes will be strategically positioned about 80 kilometers off the northeast coast of Qatar, highlighting their importance in regional energy operations.

We are grateful for this opportunity, which strengthens our partnership and reinforces our commitment to delivering innovative solutions that support Qatar’s strategic energy initiatives."
Understanding Contract Value
L&T categorizes its orders based on value, which provides insight into the scale of this recent contract. Here’s a quick breakdown:
