Shell has awarded McDermott an EPCI contract for the Manatee gas field development, 60 miles (100 km) offshore the southeast coast of Trinidad and Tobago.
Previously, McDermott had completed the FEED, detailed engineering and long lead procurement service scope for the project's initial design and execution planning.
Under the new award, the company will design, procure, fabricate, hook up and commission a platform and jacket. It will also perform design, installation and commissioning services for a 32-inch gas pipeline that will connect the platform to a Shell-operated gas processing plant as well as perform design, procurement, installation and testing services for a fiber-optic cable.
Just last month, Shell Trinidad and Tobago took FID on the Manatee offshore gas field development in the East Coast Marine Area of Trinidad and Tobago.
