McDermott has completed the engineering, procurement, construction, installation, and commissioning (EPCIC) activities in the Gulf of Mexico to begin oil production at Shell's Whale development. The project, awarded in 2021 and completed last month, leveraged McDermott's marine assets, including the North Ocean 102 vessel and the newly upgraded Amazon, to perform complex pipelay operations at depths of nearly 2,800 meters. This included the installation of approximately 50 kilometers of pipeline and 15 kilometers of umbilicals, connecting five subsea drill centers to the new Whale floating production platform.
