McDermott International has been awarded a large brownfield contract by RasGas Company (RasGas) for the engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) of a flow assurance and looping project and topside modifications offshore Qatar.
The work will involve 74 miles of 6- and 8in pipeline and topside modifications and is scheduled for completion by the end of the third quarter of 2017.
McDermott and RasGas have an Engineering Service Agreement (ESA) under which McDermott has executed several concept studies and front end engineering design (FEED) projects. Additionally, the McDermott team is assisting with the upgrade and replacement of three helidecks.
“Some 20 years ago, McDermott and RasGas began building what has become a historically strong working relationship,” said Tom Mackie, McDermott’s Vice President, Middle East. “This set the stage for this award. By combining our knowledge of the customer’s current production infrastructure, early collaboration through our ESA, and our unique brownfield capabilities, McDermott provided RasGas with an optimal EPCI solution.”
Engineering, procurement and fabrication is expected to be performed by McDermott’s teams based in Dubai, UAE Vessels from the McDermott global fleet are expected to undertake the installation work.
Revenue for the order will be included in McDermott’s third quarter 2015 backlog.
