McDermott International Inc. received a contract to develop the Otis Field in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico (GoM) as a tieback to a floating production and storage vessel (FPS) from LLOG Exploration Offshore LLC, McDermott said June 23.
Otis Field is in Block Mississippi Canyon 79, and will be tied back to the Delta House FPS in about 3,800 ft of water.
The scope of work includes project management, engineering, fabricating and installing a 75,000-ft insulated rigid flowline and insulated steel catenary riser with pipeline end termination and jumper, and precommissioning.
Project management and engineering will be handled in McDermott’s Houston office. The flowline and SCR will be assembled and fabricated at the new spoolbase facility in Gulfport, Miss.
Offshore installation is scheduled to be completed in early 2016 by LV 105, a deepwater rigid reel vessel.
Scott Munro, vice president, Americas, Europe and Africa for McDermott, said this contract is the company’s first for rigid reel lay in the area since LV 105 was delivered and the spoolbase facility was developed. The contract is important for growth plans in the GoM, he added.
