McDermott wins Otis subsea work

Louisiana-based LLOG Exploration Offshore (LLOG) awarded Houston-based McDermott International a lump sum contract to support LLOG’s Otis development located in the Gulf of Mexico.

LV 105. From McDermott.

The lump sum contract will be included in McDermott’s 2Q 2015 backlog.The Otis field, located in Block Mississippi Canyon 79, will be developed as a subsea tieback to the Delta House floating production system (FPS) and lies in approximately 3800ft of water.

The contract scope includes project management; engineering, fabrication and installation of a 75,000-foot insulated rigid flowline and insulated steel catenary riser (SCR) with associated pipeline end termination (PLET) and jumper; and pre-commissioning.

McDermott’s Houston office will perform the overall project management and engineering. The flowline and SCR are scheduled to be assembled and fabricated at McDermott’s new spoolbase facility in Gulfport, Mississippi.

Offshore installation is scheduled to be complete in early 2016 by McDermott deepwater rigid reel Lay Vessel 105 (LV 105).

“This award represents an important step in McDermott’s growth plans for the Gulf of Mexico,” said Scott Munro, VP, Americas, Europe and Africa. “This is our first contract award for rigid reel lay in the area since the delivery of the LV 105 deepwater vessel and development of our new Gulfport marine facility and spoolbase. We look forward to working with LLOG over the coming months and delivering this project safely.”

LLOG’s started production from the Delta House FPS in mid-April.
