McDermott will devise a technical and commercial framework and perform techno-economic studies concerning the safe and systematic retirement and removal of 27 offshore platforms.
The remit extends to all associated subsea infrastructure, including subsea cables and pipelines, at the Al-Karkara, Idd El Shargi and Maydan Mahzam fields.
Mike Sutherland, McDermott’s SVP Offshore Middle East, said the framework “will set new industry benchmarks and establish best-in-class standards for future decommissioning efforts in the region and beyond.”
To date, McDermott has installed most of Qatar's offshore facilities, added Neil Gunnion, Qatar country head and VP of Operations.
Definition engineering will be led from McDermott's office in Doha.
