Mc.Dermott

A McDermott International subsidiary has won a $2bn subsea contract from Japan-based Inpex for the Ichthys gas-condensate field development in Australia.

The company will work on the subsea umbilical, riser and flowline, and provide engineering, procurement, construction, installation and pre-commissioning services. The pre-commissioning work includes production flowline systems, a MEG injection system, start-up condensate transfer and fuel gas transfer flowline systems, control systems and other associated elements in water depths of up to 275m.

McDermott will also install mooring systems for the floating production, storage and offloading vessel, and a central processing facility and installation engineering for future flowlines, risers and umbilicals using subsea vessels Emerald Sea and North Ocean 102.

McDermott said that although preliminary work had already begun, construction of 16,000t of subsea equipment – including a subsea riser support structure and installation aids – will start on Batam Island, Indonesia, in early 2013.

The Ichthys LNG project is a joint venture project of Inpex, which as operator holds a 76% interest, and Total, with 24%.

Gas from the Ichthys field will undergo preliminary processing offshore to remove water and extract condensate, which will then be exported to onshore processing facilities in Darwin through an 889km subsea pipeline.

The project will produce 8.4 million tonnes of LNG and 1.6 million tonnes of LPG a year, and will have a peak rate of 100,000 barrels of condensate a day.
