HOUSTON, Feb. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- McDermott
International, Inc. (NYSE: MDR) today announced two sizeable*
contracts, one from Sarawak Shell Berhad (SSB) and one from Sapura
Exploration and Production (SEP), to provide transportation and
installation of offshore structures, pipelines and
pre-commissioning work for the Pan Malaysia field development
located off the shore of Sarawak,
Malaysia.
McDermott's scope of work for SSB includes the transportation
and installation of jackets, topsides and pipelines for the Gorek
gas field. The company's scope of work for SEP includes the
transportation and installation of jackets, topsides and pipelines
for the Larak and Bakong gas fields. McDermott will also fabricate
risers and spools for SSB and SEP.
"These two contracts give McDermott the opportunity to
strengthen our long-standing relationship with Sarawak Shell Berhad
and develop a new relationship with Sapura Exploration and
Production," said Ian Prescott,
McDermott's Senior Vice President for Asia Pacific. "They also provide an excellent
opportunity for McDermott to execute offshore projects in
Malaysia using many of the
company's assets, from our highly-skilled and talented workforce to
our marine assets and our global fabrication expertise."
McDermott is scheduled to use its installation vessel, the
Malaysian-registered Derrick Barge
30, for these jobs. The project management team will be based in
Kuala Lumpur using the maximum
Malaysian workforce to meet the local content requirement.
Fabrication of the risers and spools is scheduled to be performed
at McDermott's global execution center in Batam, Indonesia. The offshore campaign is expected
to begin in Q2 2019.
The awards mark McDermott's first contracts in Malaysia since relocating the regional
headquarters to Kuala Lumpur.
McDermott has since increased its local workforce from 90 to nearly
700 employees. "We have grown significantly in a relatively short
space of time. Our Kuala Lumpur
office is one of the company's centers of excellence supporting our
global projects. This gives our local employees excellent
development and growth opportunities. We are extremely pleased to
secure the Pan Malaysia field development work which enables us to
support the growth of the Malaysian oil and gas sector and the
country," said Prescott.
McDermott is continuing its hiring process in Malaysia to meet the growing business
prospects in the region and its recent combination with CB&I
that opens up onshore petrochemical business opportunities in
addition to its offshore business portfolio.
The Pan Malaysia contracts will be reflected in McDermott's
first quarter 2019 backlog.
* McDermott defines a sizable contract as between USD
$1 million and USD $50 million.
