McDermott International has won two contacts for EPCI work, one for Qatar Petroleum in the North Field Alpha gas development, and a second from Saudi Aramco for the Marjan field, offshore Saudi Arabia.
The North Field Alpha project calls for a new jacket, temporary deck and replacement umbilical. The contract includes front-end engineering design verification, detailed engineering, procurement, construction, installation (EPCI) and commissioning of a new six-legged, 15-slot wellhead jacket and temporary drill deck, with a total weight of approximately 5000 tons. The work also includes the decommissioning, removal, replacement and pre-commissioning of 2.6mi of composite umbilical and a fiber optic cable, in the Maydan Mahzam field.
Work is expected to be executed through 2Q 2016 and will be included in McDermott’s first quarter 2015 backlog.
The Marjan field project work for Saudi Aramco comprises integrated EPCI and replacement of the decks of two existing tie-in platforms, as well as the removal and salvage of existing gas turbine generators, and the installation of two new 115kV subsea power and communication cables. The initial scope of work includes the engineering, procurement, fabrication and load-out of the platforms and cable.
Work is expected to be executed through 4Q 2016 and will be included in McDermott’s first quarter 2015 backlog.
Engineering is expected to be carried out by McDermott’s specialist teams in Dubai, U.A.E.; Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia; and Chennai, India, and the two new electrical decks are scheduled to be fabricated at the Dubai-based fabrication facility.
