McDermott International, Inc. announced on January 28, a sizeable* contract
award by LLOG Exploration Company, L.L.C.
for deepwater subsea pipeline tiebacks and structures from the Stonefly
development to the Ram Powell platform, located approximately 140 miles
southeast of New Orleans, Louisiana.
The
scope of work includes project management, installation engineering, subsea
structure and spoolbase stalk fabrication, and subsea installation of the subsea
infrastructure to support a two well subsea tieback from the Stonefly
development site to the Ram Powell platform via a 60,000 foot 6-inch pipeline at
water depths ranging from 3,300 to 4,100 feet. McDermott will also design,
fabricate and install a steel catenary riser, a pipeline end manifold and two
in-line sleds.
"This
award demonstrates McDermott's commitment to helping LLOG safely and
competitively deliver the Stonefly development," said Richard Heo, McDermott's
Senior Vice President for North, Central and South America. "McDermott's proven
track record of project execution in the Gulf of Mexico, combined with our
industry-leading subsea capabilities and integrated business model, will help
drive efficiency while maintaining our uncompromising commitment to safety and
quality."
The
Stonefly development includes the Viosca Knoll 999 area where McDermott is
scheduled to use its 50-acre spoolbase in Gulfport, Mississippi, for fabrication
and reeled solutions. McDermott is scheduled to install the subsea tiebacks and
structures using its North Ocean 105 vessel in the third quarter of 2019.
Structure design and installation engineering began in January 2019 in
McDermott's Houston office.
The
lump sum contract award will be reflected in McDermott's first quarter 2019
backlog.
The
Ram Powell tension leg platform is located in 3,200 feet of water in Viosca
Knoll Area, Block 956, and is capable of processing 60,000 barrels of oil per
day and 200 million cubic feet of gas per day.
LLOG
is one of the largest privately-owned exploration and production companies in
the United States.
