Engineering Document Intelligence
for Qatar & LNG Megaprojects

Qatar is the world's largest LNG exporter. QatarEnergy's North Field Expansion (NFE) is the world's largest LNG project, with $29B capex and 64 MTPA additional capacity. NFS (North Field South) adds another ~$10B. Ras Laffan industrial complex is the single largest LNG production site on earth. Every project generates massive engineering documentation: a typical LNG train alone runs 10,000+ P&IDs and 50,000+ mill certificates. Pathnovo is architected for LNG-megaproject scale with cryogenic service domain knowledge and QatarEnergy-standard deliverable formats.

Yes. LNG service (-162°C) has specific engineering requirements: cryogenic material grades (9% nickel steel A353/A553, austenitic stainless 304L/316L, Invar, aluminium 5083), cryogenic valve specifications, vacuum-jacketed piping, cool-down procedures, and Qatar-specific regulatory oversight via the Ministry of Energy. Pathnovo's extraction engine recognises cryogenic-service notations and validates material grade selections against applicable LNG piping codes (ASME B31.3 cryogenic chapter, EN 1473 for LNG installations).

Owner-operators: QatarEnergy, QatarEnergy LNG (formerly Qatargas), QatarEnergy LNG (formerly RasGas), QAPCO, QAFCO, Qatar Chemical (Q-Chem), Qatar Vinyl (QVC), Qatar Steel, Qatalum. NFE / NFS contractors: Chiyoda Corporation, KEPCO, JGC Corporation, Hyundai E&C, Samsung Engineering, Technip Energies. Tier 2 contractors: various Indian, Korean, and Japanese EPC contractors supporting the NFE work packages. Indian EPCs with Qatar presence: L&T, Tata Projects, Toyo Engineering.

QatarEnergy and its contractors follow Material Data Book compilation workflows similar to Aramco: every pressure-containing item traced to mill certificate with full code compliance evidence. Pathnovo automates this MDB workflow end-to-end: mill certificate extraction (180,000+ formats), PO line-item matching, code compliance validation (ASME, EN, applicable Qatar Ministry standards), and MDB register generation in QatarEnergy format. See /solutions/procurement-intelligence/mill-certificate for the underlying capability.

LNG terminals are complex, capital-intensive assets with multi-decade operational lifespans. Day 1 operational readiness requires complete engineering documentation: asset registers, inspection registers, emergency response plan linkage, operator training documentation, custodial transfer readiness. Pathnovo structures all of this during EPC and delivers a handover-ready data package on commissioning day. Subsequent annual audits and regulatory inspections run from the Pathnovo register, not from reconstructed paper files.

Data residency is configurable: AWS Riyadh, Azure UAE North, or Qatar-based cloud providers supported for projects requiring Gulf data residency. For projects with particularly sensitive data, air-gapped managed service delivery is available with on-site Pathnovo team presence at contractor or owner offices. Confidentiality agreements and security protocols aligned to QatarEnergy standards.
