McDermott has secured an engineering, procurement, construction, installation (EPCI) contract for the Manatee gas field development project, located 100 km off the southeast coast of Trinidad and Tobago.

The contract awarded by Shell Trinidad and Tobago Ltd. follows the successful delivery of the front-end engineering design, detailed engineering and long lead procurement service contracts for the project’s initial design and execution planning.

The deal entails McDermott to design, procure, fabricate, hook up and commission a platform and jacket.

McDermott will also provide design, installation, and commissioning services for a 32-inch gas pipeline that will connect the platform to a gas processing facility operated by Shell.

Moreover, the company will do design, procurement, installation, and testing services for a fiber optic cable.

“This award leverages our unique, integrated EPCI capabilities and legacy of engineering excellence and innovation to successfully deliver large offshore platforms and complex subsea infrastructure worldwide,” said Mahesh Swaminathan, McDermott’s Senior Vice President, Subsea and Floating Facilities.

“The Manatee project builds on our track record of successful project execution for Shell and exemplifies our commitment to building energy infrastructure required to meet demand,” Swaminathan.
