PERTH, Australia, Sept. 4, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- McDermott
International, Inc. (NYSE: MDR) announced today it has successfully
completed the contract for phase two of the Greater Western Flank
project. The contract was awarded by Woodside Energy Ltd in
January 2016.
McDermott was responsible for the procurement, fabrication,
installation and testing of a series of pipeline buckle initiators,
pipeline end terminations and foundation mudmats, in-line tee
structures and approximately 21 miles (35 kilometers) of a 16-inch
(40 centimeters) corrosion resistant alloy (CRA) pipeline extending
from the existing Goodwyn A Platform to the Lady Nora and Pemberton
field manifold locations.
"McDermott's strong execution capability is one of the reasons
why clients continue to entrust their most important projects to
us," said Ian Prescott, McDermott's
Senior Vice President for Asia
Pacific. "Greater Western Flank 2 is a testament to our
execution, preparation and vertical integration capabilities. It
shows McDermott can deliver challenging projects in challenging
environments."
"One of the key challenges of the project was to perform
installation work inside the 546 yards (500 meters) safety zone of
Woodside's Goodwyn A Platform," said Vince
Vieraitis, McDermott's GWF-2 Project Director. "Through
close collaboration with the client, the project was delivered in
full compliance to project specifications with zero lost time
incidents."
McDermott deployed two of its specialty vessels to complete the
installation phase, namely DLV 2000 for the pipelay campaign and
the Lay Vessel 108 for the pre-lay and post-lay campaign. McDermott
also set up an onshore portable and temporary double jointing
facility at its Batam fabrication yard in Indonesia to simulate the offshore
installation campaign.
Project Details
The Greater Western Flank Phase 2
fields lie in water depths varying between 262 feet (80 meters) and
426 feet (130 meters) at approximately 29 to 37 miles (40 to 60
kilometers) southwest of the Goodwyn A Platform, located off the
northwest coast of western Australia. It includes the development of
eight wells from the Keast, Dockrell, Lady Nora, Pemberton,
Sculptor and Rankin fields. Gas production is tied-back via the
pipeline end termination, in-line tees and subsea pipeline to the
platform. The project is expected to achieve first gas by the end
of this year.
