McDermott International, Inc. (NYSE: MDR) ("McDermott") announced today
that its Malaysian affiliate Berlian McDermott Sdn. Bhd. was recently
awarded a significant subsea contract for executing a deepwater
engineering, procurement, construction, transportation, installation and
commissioning project offshore Malaysia. The value of this contract is
included in McDermott's first quarter 2012 backlog.
The award is for the subsea infrastructure of the Siakap North - Petai
("SNP") Development Project operated by Murphy Sabah Oil Co., Ltd.
("Murphy"), comprising rigid flowlines, flexible risers, an umbilical
and subsea hardware and controls. The SNP field is located nearby the
existing Kikeh field, northwest of Labuan Island, Malaysia, in waters
3,900 - 4,900 feet deep.
"Our subsea engineering expertise, fabrication track record at our Batam
Island facility, state-of-the-art subsea construction vessels and
understanding of the Malaysian market, contributed to this successful
award," said Stephen M. Johnson, Chairman of the Board, President and
Chief Executive Officer of McDermott. "We look forward to delivering the
facilities for this important field development for Malaysia."
The SNP field architecture consists of two rigid, insulated,
pipe-in-pipe production flowlines, one rigid water injection flowline
and one main umbilical system connecting eight new manifolds and subsea
distribution units to existing riser slots on the Kikeh FPSO. The
development calls for five water injection and eight production wells,
drilled from the manifolds at each of the four drill center locations.
Detailed engineering and procurement for the project are underway, and
fabrication of PLETs, jumpers and other installation aids is expected to
begin in the third quarter of 2012. Following the infrastructure
installation, McDermott will undertake a comprehensive System
Integration Test of the subsea units and provide commissioning
assistance. The project scope is scheduled to be completed by the third
quarter of 2013.
