McDermott International’s subsidiary was awarded a transportation, installation and pre-commissioning contract by PC Ketapang II, a subsidiary of PETRONAS, for the Bukit Tua Development Project in the Ketapang block of East Java, Indonesia.
This new contract is for the transportation and installation of the BTJT-A jacket, its related topsides and subsea pipeline tie-in spools. Additionally, McDermott will undertake the pre-commissioning of the related export and infield pipelines. All offshore installation work will be carried out by the McDermott Derrick Barge 30 (“DB30”).
“McDermott’s innovative engineering solutions played a key role in us winning the project. The unique configuration of our DB30 enables work to be carried out in a shorter amount of time, which translates to time and cost savings and helps to improve the overall efficiency and safety of offshore operations for our client”, said Hugh Cuthbertson, Vice President and General Manager, Asia Pacific. The offshore campaign is expected to be completed by end of the first quarter of 2015.
