US subsea and deepwater engineering and construction player McDermott has been awarded a large transportation and installation contract by India’s Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) for a project located off the east coast of the country.
Under the scope of the contract, McDermott will perform the transportation and installation of a central processing platform (CPP) and living quarters for the KG-DWN-98/2 development project. Once installed, the CPP will be used to process wet gas which will then be transferred from the platform to an onshore terminal.
The CPP award is an expansion of McDermott’s current scope of work under the KG-DWN-98/2 project — one of the largest subsea projects in India. Originally awarded in 2018, and nearing completion, the integrated subsea package includes the supply of all subsea production systems, including 26 deepwater trees, and the installation of subsea umbilicals, risers, and flowlines at a water depth of between zero to 1,300 m.
Project management and engineering will be executed from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, with support from other McDermott offices. The company has not provided precise financial details regarding the deal, but the company defines a large contract as between $50m and $250m.
