By GlobalDataSNC-Lavalin Group president of oil & gas Christian Brown said: "We are thrilled to have an opportunity to strengthen our excellent relationship with Qatar Shell, which began with our first contract for Pearl several years ago.
"This is a highly strategic contract for us since we will be providing complete EPCM services to our client as needed for at least four years."
The Pearl GTL project was developed in two phases after major construction was completed at the end of 2010.
The initial phase started up in early 2011 and exported the first commercial shipment of gasoil in June 2011.
Phase two of the plant started up in early November 2011 by bringing in sour gas from offshore wells.
