McDermott International, Inc. and Baker Hughes, a GE company, recently announced the award of a contract by POSCO DAEWOO Corp. for phase two of the Shwe gas field development offshore Western Myanmar.
The project scope includes subsea umbilicals, risers and flowlines (SURF), subsea production systems (SPS) for an eight-well development and modifications to tie-back the new facilities to an existing platform
The award follows the completion of a front-end engineering and design (FEED) competition and tender for the engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning (EPCIC) scope by the consortium
The EPCIC scope covers SURF and SPS for an eight-subsea-well development at a water depth of between 279 feet (85 meters) and 466 feet (142 meters). It also covers brownfield modifications to tie-back the new subsea facilities to the existing Shwe platform.
McDermott will undertake the EPCIC of SURF and brownfield modification scopes, using its regional center of excellence for project management and engineering in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The SURF structures and production manifolds will be fabricated in the Asia Pacific region. McDermott will also execute the installation and commissioning phase, with Field Service Engineering expertise and tooling support from BHGE’s base in Singapore. Installation of SURF and SPS components will be carried out using McDermott’s state of the art pipelay assets, including the Derrick Lay Vessel 2000.
BHGE will supply the SPS scope, including eight Medium-water Horizontal Xmas Trees, eight subsea production control systems and distribution equipment, and topside controls.
