Three prized upstream front-end engineering and design contracts have been awarded by operator Woodside Petroleum for the Scarborough liquefied natural gas development in Western Australia.
Woodside said McDermott had been selected for the large semi-submersible production platform, Subsea7 and OneSubsea for the subsea umbilicals, risers and flowlines, and Saipem with support from IntecSea Engineering for the gas export pipeline.
The semisub will weigh between 40,000 and 50,000 tonnes, be located in 900 metres of water, and have compression and water-handling facilities.
