Big Foot remains moored as player pushes back tow-out

Consequently, Big Foot’s start-up is now expected in the second quarter of 2015.

The company did not give a specific reason for the revised schedule.

However, Upstream first reported earlier this month that the $4 billion Big Foot platform was in danger of missing its original late 2014 start-up due to change-orders and the mushrooming of the topsides.

The hull was built in South Korea by Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering while the topsides fabrication was contracted to Gulf Island Fabrication.
