McDermott International, Inc. has announced that one of its subsidiaries has recently been awarded two projects by Saudi Aramco in the Abu Safah, Marjan and Safaniya fields in the Arabian Gulf.
The two projects consist of six topsides and a bridge that connects to the existing Marjan facilities. In addition, the project will require other associated modifications and brownfield work. The combined total weight of the structures will exceed 4,000 metric tons.
“We will be executing both projects using engineering, project management and procurement resources from our Al-Khobar, Saudi Arabia office,” said Senior Vice President and General Manager, Middle East, Caspian and North Sea for McDermott, Stewart Mitchell. “Our In-Kingdom activities continue to grow as we ramp up this Engineering office and our recruitment efforts to position McDermott for current and future project requirements.”
The North Dome project comprises procurement, construction and installation of two wellhead decks for Abu Safah and Marjan, and an auxiliary platform and access bridge for Marjan. And the second project comprises procurement, fabrication, transportation and installation of three electrified production deck modules in the Safaniya and Marjan fields. McDermott’s Jebel Ali fabrication facility will construct the platforms, while vessels from McDermott’s global fleet will be used to install the facilities.
“McDermott’s history of working with Saudi Aramco spans many years and we are delighted to be working together again on this project,” said Mitchell. “I believe our understanding of Saudi Aramco’s requirements from previous experience, combined with the proven cable laying abilities of the North Ocean 102, will help to ensure the safe and timely delivery of this project.”
McDermott International, Inc. (NYSE: MDR) has also been awarded a cable procurement and installation project for Saudi Aramco in the Safaniya, Abu Safah and Marjan fields.
The contract, issued under the existing Long Term Agreement, will include the procurement, transportation, installation, hookup and testing of seven composite cables and corresponding anode sleds.
