Highlights
  • The largest single offshore contracts McDermott has been awarded in its history. 
  • For the first time, four of the WHT, plus all subsea infrastructure, are being fabricated in the QFAB yard with support from our fabrication yard in Batam, Indonesia.
  • Fabrication and installation of eight wellhead topsides (WHT) for North Field East (NFE), five WHT for North Field South (NFS) and two sensory tower platforms (STP). 
  • The subsea pipeline scope includes 300 miles of pipelines. In addition, 140 miles of 33kV subsea cables and associated works complete the offshore scope.

The project comprises the delivery of wellhead topsides, associated subsea pipelines, and subsea cables. The project also includes an onshore pipeline scope, including a beach valve station, and sensory tower platforms. When complete, the platforms will provide feed gas to the first of six new LNG trains currently under construction in Qatar.
