McDermott has been awarded a mega* engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) contract by ADNOC for Package 4 of the Umm Shaif Integrated Gas Cap and Surface Pressure Boosting (SPB) Project. The project is a critical component of the Umm Shaif Long Term Development Plan (LTDP), designed to maximize gas recovery from the field and increase gas production.

Under the contract, McDermott and its Qingdao McDermott Wuchuan (QMW) consortium will provide the complete EPCI scope for a new surface pressure boosting facility, including the construction and installation of a jacket and topside, as well as associated brownfield modifications. Upon completion, the topside will rank among the heaviest offshore modules ever installed in the Middle East.

"This award reflects ADNOC's confidence in McDermott's ability to deliver complex offshore developments safely and efficiently," said Mike Sutherland, McDermott's Senior Vice President, Offshore Middle East. "Leveraging our extensive regional experience and integrated execution capabilities, we look forward to supporting ADNOC's production objectives and contributing to the UAE's long-term energy ambitions."

"We are proud to expand our role in the advancement of the Umm Shaif field in a strategic and reliable manner and in line with ADNOC's vision for sustainable energy growth," added Angela De Vincentis, McDermott's Vice President of Operations, Offshore Middle East.

Engineering and project management activities will be led from McDermott's offices in the United Arab Emirates. Fabrication will be carried out at QMW, McDermott's joint venture fabrication yard in Qingdao, China.

*McDermott defines a mega contract as over USD $1 billion.
