McDermott International, Inc. (MDR) announced that it has completed the first phase of the deep-water Atlanta Early Production System (EPS).
McDermott has performed the project management, engineering and offshore installation of all subsea hardware, including flexible pipes, umbilicals, umbilical termination assemblies, and associated equipment for the subsea umbilicals, risers and flowlines (SURF) project. McDermott also provided the flexible and umbilicals load out, logistics base and associated services. This additional scope was added to McDermott’s initial award.
The Atlanta EPS project is the first engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) lump sum project by the McDermott team in Brazil.
McDermott’s load out base was located at Porto do Açu, approximately 155 miles north of Rio de Janeiro. The McDermott Atlanta project team developed the appropriate base lay-out and facilities, which was fully equipped with the required loading equipment and offices.
McDermott used two vessels to execute the offshore scope. McDermott’s North Ocean 102 performed the umbilical installation scope while the Skandi Niteroi, a third party vessel, performed the flexible installation.
