McDermott continues its decades-long relationship with Saudi Aramco with three new engineering, procurement, construction, and installation (EPCI) awards. McDermott will provide EPCI for four drilling jackets and seven oil production deck modules (PDMs) in Saudi Arabia’s offshore Zuluf, Ribyan, Abu Sa’fah, and Safaniya fields.
‘These awards are a direct result of our long track record of successfully delivering shallow water infrastructure for Saudi Aramco, as well as our commitments to the growth of Saudi Arabia’s energy sector and In-Kingdom execution in accordance with Vision 2030,’ said Tareq Kawash, McDermott’s Senior Vice President, Europe, Middle East, and Africa.
The scope of work for the three contract release purchase orders (CRPOs) includes EPCI of more than 28 miles (45 kms) of pipelines, more than 62 miles (100 kms) of subsea cables, and tie-in works to existing facilities, in addition to the seven PDMs and four drilling jackets. Fabrication is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2022, followed by offshore installation in the fourth quarter of 2022 and overall completion in the second quarter of 2023.
