Project scope
McDermott and its Qingdao McDermott Wuchuan (QMW) consortium will deliver the complete EPCI scope for Package 4 of the Umm Shaif Integrated Gas Cap and Surface Pressure Boosting (SPB) Project. The work includes construction and installation of a jacket and a topside plus associated brownfield modifications.
Execution and locations
Engineering and project management activities will be led from McDermott's offices in the United Arab Emirates, while fabrication will be carried out at QMW, the company's joint-venture yard in Qingdao, China.
Strategic context
The package is a critical component of the Umm Shaif Long Term Development Plan (LTDP), intended to maximise gas recovery from the field and increase gas production.
Contract scale
McDermott characterises the award as a "mega" contract—its threshold for that label is over USD $1 billion—and says the completed topside will rank among the heaviest offshore modules ever installed in the Middle East.
