McDermott International's Chinese joint venture Qingdao McDermott Wuchuan Offshore Engineering (QMW) completed a fast-track compression process module fabrication subcontract for Jord Oil & Gas Systems. The company is the prime contractor for the process modules for the jackup compression platform that will connect to the Pemex Akal G-1 platform offshore Mexico.
The scope of work, awarded 1Q 2014, included construction, engineering, procurement of bulk materials, fabrication, pre-commissioning and transportation of three process modules, related skids and a flare boom.
“The on-schedule delivery of the process modules reflects the highly productive operations at the Qingdao yard, which are based on McDermott’s global fabrication quality standards,” said Scott Cummins, McDermott’s Executive Vice President Offshore. “The design of the Qingdao fabrication facility and the mega-module fabrication shop, which can accommodate large structures in an enclosed environment, was an essential element for delivering schedule certainty on this fast-track project, allowing for continuous operations regardless of weather conditions.”
