HOUSTON -- McDermott International has been awarded a sizeable lump-sum contract by LLOG Exploration Offshore in support of LLOG’s Otis development in the Gulf of Mexico.
The lump-sum contract will be included in McDermott’s second-quarter 2015 backlog.
Otis field, which lies in Block Mississippi Canyon 79, will be developed as a subsea tieback to the Delta House floating production system (FPS) and lies in approximately 3,800 ft of water.
The contract scope includes:
- Project management;
- Engineering, fabrication and installation of a 75,000-ft 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 completed in early 2016 by McDermott deepwater rigid reel Lay Vessel 105 (LV 105).
