05/01/2017 Argaam

Saudi Arabia’s state oil company Saudi Aramco has awarded McDermott International Inc. a contract for engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) of four jackets and three gas observation platforms offshore Saudi Arabia.

 

Work on the contract will take place throughout the fourth quarter of 2017, the firm said in a statement, without mentioning a value for the contract.

 

The total weight of all structures combined is 11,595 tons.

 

This is the third fast-track jacket contract from Saudi Aramco that the company has won in the past 18 months, Linh Austin, McDermott’s vice-president (Middle East & Caspian), said in the statement.

 

In 2015, McDermott was awarded a project for the EPCI of 12 jackets, and the project was completed in 2016. 

 

The US-based firm is currently executing EPCI work for Saudi Aramco on nine jackets offshore Saudi Arabia, which are slated for delivery in the third quarter of 2017.
