Introduction

  • Technical Authority for Materials related matters for all Projects.
  • Oversee technical quality, material processing, material qualification, failure investigation, root cause analysis and material testing during the procurement, manufacturing, fabrication, delivery and installation of equipment and metallic goods (i.e., pipeline, etc.) and during land construction in support of all Major Projects.
  • As a competent expert and Technical Authority in Materials, has a very crucial role for all LNG projects to ensure the integrity of upstream and downstream facilities to support the State of Qatar fulfil its global commitment to Supply LNG and local commitment to supply pipeline gas.
  • Has expertise in material selection and performance, particularly in extreme conditions.
  • Responsible for mitigating corrosion, preventing failures, and optimizing material selection to ensure reliability and safety of equipment and infrastructure.
  • Directly impacts the performance and lifespan of LNG critical upstream and downstream equipment and systems, which is exposed to harsh environment (e.g., H2s, CO2, CL, etc.) and extreme temperatures and pressures, rendering the role essential for preventing catastrophic failures and essential for optimizing project and lifecycle operational costs.
