Awarded to the McDermott and Baker Hughes consortium in 2019 by INPEX, the subsea infrastructure development project included EPCI of umbilicals, risers and flowlines (URF) and a subsea production system comprising a new 7-inch (approximately 18 cm) vertical christmas tree system, all forming a subsea well gathering system (GS4) tied back to the existing Ichthys Explorer central processing facility.
The consortium’s scope of work also included an infill URF EPCI involving the development of new subsea wells tied in to the existing gathering systems.
