Hyundai Engineering of South Korea announced recently that it had received a Letter of Award involving the construction of the upcoming Karachaganak Gas Processing Plant in Kazakhstan from QazaqGaz, who took over operatorship of the project earlier this year.

The Karachaganak Gas Processing Plant project will be a significantly sized facility with a processing capacity of 5 billion cubic meters (bcm) of gas per year, an increase of 1 bcm over a prior concept for the project. Hyundai Engineering is expected to head up the project with a focus on engineering and procurement while SICIM of Italy is believed to be cooperating with construction focused tasks and local works.

Once completed, this processing plant will process raw gas from the Karachaganak oil and gas condensate field. This field is one of the largest in the world with reserves estimated to be 1.2 billion tons of oil and 1.35 trillion cubic meters of gas. The Energy Ministry of Kazakhstan has previously stated that the construction of a domestic gas processing facility at Karachaganak was a strategic priority for the country as it seeks to eventually reduce its reliance on Russia’s Orenburg plant, where most of the Karachaganak gas has been processed in recent years.

Axens of France has announced a collaboration with Green Sky Capital regarding the development of an upcoming 66 MMgpy sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production facility in Ain Sokhna, Egypt.

This SAF plant will utilize Axens’ Vegan HEFA technology to produce SAF from lipid-based feedstock, as well as providing operational support and training to the facility. This project is being fast tracked for a startup in late 2027 as Egypt continues to push towards its energy transition goals and to become a strategic hub for renewable fuel supply to the Mediterranean and African markets. This new SAF plant is being envisioned as the first SAF plant in Egypt.

Repsol has announced that production has begun at its renewable diesel facility located in Puertollano in Spain’s Ciudad Real province. This $174.6 million USD converted facility at the Puertollano Industrial Complex has an annual production capacity of 63 MMgpy of renewable fuels that will be used for Repsol’s Nexa Diesel, a 100% renewable energy product marketed in Spain and Portugal.

This renewable facility follows the production of 80 MMgpy from Repsol’s renewable facility in Cartagena that began in 2024. These projects are part of Repsol’s initiative to transform its industrial sites with a focus on a circular economy and an overall lower carbon footprint.

QatarEnergy Halted LNG Production Amid Regional Conflict

In a major development for global energy markets, QatarEnergy has officially suspended production of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and associated products effective March 3, 2026.

Due to escalating armed interventions in the Middle East, the state-owned energy giant has declared Force Majeure to all affected buyers. This move signals a significant shift in global supply dynamics, as Qatar remains one of the world's most pivotal exporters.

Key Impacts:

Supply Constraints: Immediate tightening of global LNG availability.
Market Volatility: Expected price fluctuations across European and Asian benchmarks.
Contractual Shifts: Buyers now facing supply disruptions must look to alternative spot markets.

At Global Energy Infrastructure, we are monitoring the situation closely. How do you see this impacting global energy security in the coming months?

ExxonMobil, Aramco and Samref have signed a Venture Framework Agreement for the purpose of carrying out refinery upgrades and a potential new petrochemical complex on the site of the 400,000 bpd Samref refinery in Yanbu. Samref is an equally owned joint venture between Aramco and the Mobil Yanbu Refining Company, which is a wholly owned unit under Exxon.

Regarding this agreement, Aramco Downstream President Mohammed Y. Al Qahtani remarked “Designed to increase the conversion of crude oil and petroleum liquids into high-value chemicals, this project reinforces our commitment to advancing Downstream value creation and our liquids-to-chemicals strategy.” Aramco and its partners are intending to diversify production and upgrade existing facilities to include higher quality distillates with lower emissions and high-performance chemical production at the existing Samref Refinery and the new petrochemical expansion.

A preliminary front-end engineering and design phase will be next for this project as it takes shape regarding capacity and timeline, and any plans will be subject to market conditions, regulatory approvals and FIDs made. What do you think about ExxonMobil and Aramco’s diversification plans? Let us know in the comments.

Moeve of Spain has announced that its upcoming biofuels plant being constructed at the La Rabida Energy Park in Palos de la Frontera is now 50% complete. Operations are currently expected to commence by the end of next year.

This plant is being developed with Apical of Indonesia at a cost of $1.3 billion dollars USD and once completed, it will have a capacity for 500,000 tpy of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel (HVO) and it was designed to remove up to three million tons of CO₂ emissions annually, which is approximately 4% of Spain’s road-transport emissions. What do you think about this project and its potential impact on Spain’s energy transition goals? Let us know in the comments.

The Dangote Refinery of Nigeria has signed an MoU with Engineers India Ltd (EIL) for Project Management Consultancy and for Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management, as well as having chosen Honeywell of the U.S. to supply technology, services and unspecified equipment for the purpose of expanding capacity at the 650,000 bpd Dangote single train facility to 1.4 million barrels per day by 2028.

Both EIL and Honeywell have been working with the original refinery for years, and this expansion is the latest step in Nigeria’s plan to become a refined petroleum projects and petrochemicals hub for the region. This expansion also includes a petrochemical component expansion that would bring an additional 750,000 tpy of polypropylene production with Honeywell’s Oleflex technology to bring total polypropylene capacity to 2.4 MMtpy. What do you think of Nigeria’s plans for energy growth and independence? Let us know in the comments.

Fluor announced in November that it had been awarded a front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract by LanzaJet for the company’s upcoming sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production hub in North Yorkshire, England named Project Speedbird.

Project Speedbird is a joint development between LanzaJet and British Airways that will be a new commercial scale facility in the North Yorkshire area built for the purpose of leveraging LanzaJet’s Alcohol-to-Jet technology to turn second generation ethanol from agricultural residue and woody biomass into 30 million gallons of SAF and renewable diesel annually. This project is currently expected to be in production by the end of 2028. British Airways intends for this SAF to be a pathway to reduce carbon emissions by 230,000 tons annually. What do you think about these SAF plans and their expected impact on emissions? Let us know in the comments.
