McDermott said that the work is scheduled to be completed by the second quarter of next year.

The sizeable contract value ranges from $1m to $50m, the company added.

In June 2018, Posco Daewoo awarded a contract to a consortium of McDermott International and Baker Hughes, a GE company (BHGE) for the phase two development of the Shwe gas field.

McDermott’s joint venture (JV) Qingdao McDermott Wuchuan Offshore Engineering (QMW) recently won a contract to provide three complex modules for the Arctic LNG 2 Project.

Last month, McDermott International and BHGE won contracts to provide joint umbilicals, risers and flowlines (URF), as well as a subsea production system (SPS) solution for the Ichthys Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) field development, off the north-west coast of Western Australia.

Operated by Inpex, the Ichthys LNG field development has an expected 40-year operational life.
