By GlobalDataThe North Ocean 102 deepwater flexible lay vessel is expected to complete the umbilical installation and subsea construction scope of work.
McDermott International vice-president for Americas, Europe and Africa Scott Munro said: "The combination of our pipe-in-pipe experience, efficiency of the Lay Vessel 105 (LV105) and our Gulfport spoolbase led McDermott to secure this important contract from Anadarko."
The work related to the overall project management and engineering has been started by McDermott’s operating centre in Houston, Texas.
The company’s spoolbase facility in Gulfport, Mississippi will be responsible for assembly and fabrication of PIP flowlines.
