McDermott’s engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) SURF contract for the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim project is a substantial contract, which the company defines as ranging from $500-750m.
The company plans to use its upgraded Amazon vessel, DLV 2000, North Ocean 102 and third-party vessels to support installation, which is set to start in late 2020.
Before the start of the installation campaign, McDermott plans to complete modifications to the Amazon, including a multi-joint (hex) J-Lay system to handle ultra-deepwater projects.
The work will also involve the addition of a multi-joint facility, dual pipe loading cranes and additional power generation.
