Qatar holds the world's third-largest proven natural gas reserves (25 Tcf proven, contributing to the shared North Field/South Pars structure) and is the undisputed #1 LNG exporter globally, with QatarEnergy shipping liquefied natural gas to Japan, South Korea, China, India, and Europe. The North Field Expansion programme — comprising NFE (32 MTPA increment, 4 new LNG trains sanctioned 2021) and NFS (16 MTPA increment, 2 additional trains sanctioned 2023) — will increase Qatar's LNG capacity from 77 MTPA to 126 MTPA by 2027, the single largest LNG investment in history at over $28 billion. This expansion requires millions of tonnes of process equipment, piping systems, and structural components, with precision forgings playing a critical role: cryogenic ASME B16.5 flanges in A182 F304L/F316L for the main cryogenic circuits, compressor casing forgings in 4140 alloy for the three-stage refrigeration train compressors (propane, ethylene, methane MR circuit), and LNG main heat exchanger (MCHE) nozzle forgings in ASTM A182 F304. Shivam Forge supplies CIF Ras Laffan in 7–10 sea days from Mundra port — the fastest supply corridor from India to the world's LNG capital.
Ras Laffan Industrial City, established in 1996, has grown into one of the world's most concentrated industrial zones, hosting QatarEnergy's flagship LNG trains (Qatargas 1–4 and RasGas 1–7, now combined under QatarEnergy LNG brand), Pearl GTL (the world's largest gas-to-liquids plant at 140,000 bbl/day GTL products), QAFCO (world's #1 single-site urea producer at 3.8 MTPA annual capacity), QAPCO (520,000 tonne/year LDPE), Industries Qatar, and 65+ other industrial enterprises. Combined fixed capital investment at Ras Laffan exceeds $100 billion. The Ras Laffan Industrial Port, purpose-built for LNG export, handles over 65 million tonnes per year of cargo, including LNG, GTL products, ammonia, and petrochemicals. Shivam Forge's competitive advantage for Ras Laffan supply: API Q1 quality system, EN 10204 3.1 material certificates, ASME Section VIII and PED 2014/68/EU pressure design compliance, and 7–10 day CIF Ras Laffan transit — faster than European suppliers (20–25 days) and with 30–40% lower landed cost.
Nakilat — Qatar Gas Transport Company, a QatarEnergy subsidiary — owns and operates the world's largest LNG tanker fleet: 69 vessels including 25 Q-Max class (266,000 m³ capacity — the world's largest LNG tankers, unable to transit the Suez Canal due to size) and 31 Q-Flex class (210,000 m³). These vessels maintain Qatar's global LNG supply chains to 25+ countries and require continuous MRO supplies of marine forgings: propeller shaft forgings in Nickel-Chrome-Molybdenum stainless grade (for seawater corrosion resistance), rudder stock forgings in NV Grade 5 high-tensile steel (AH36/EH36 equivalent), and stern tube bearing housing forgings in 316L stainless. Shivam Forge holds Lloyd's Register and Bureau Veritas approval for marine shaft forgings and supplies CIF Hamad Port in 7–10 days from Indian west coast. QAFCO's ammonia synthesis and urea production processes additionally require HP alloy steel forgings: ammonia reactor nozzle forgings in 1.25Cr-0.5Mo (A182 F11), HP steam flanges Class 1500–2500 in A182 F11/F22, and urea stripper closure forgings in 316L stainless (duplex liner for urea service) — all manufactured and certified at our Rajkot, Gujarat facility.
Shivam Forge is positioned as Qatar's most cost-effective precision forging supplier from outside the GCC region. Qatar's GCC Common External Tariff applies 5% import duty on HS 7326.19 (forged steel articles), and with Indian ex-works prices already 35–45% below equivalent European forgings, total landed cost advantage at Ras Laffan or Hamad Port is 30–40% after duty. Payment terms accommodated: LC at sight or deferred LC through Qatar National Bank (QNB), Commercial Bank of Qatar (CBQ), or Doha Bank, all with which our Indian banking partners maintain correspondent relationships.
