McDermott secures Adnoc EPCI contract for Umm Shaif project

McDermott has secured a major engineering, procurement, construction, and installation (EPCI) contract from Adnoc for Package 4 of the Umm Shaif Integrated Gas Cap and Surface Pressure Boosting Project. This initiative is part of Adnoc’s long-term development plan to maximize gas recovery and increase production from the Umm Shaif field.

Working through the Qingdao McDermott Wuchuan consortium, McDermott will deliver a new surface pressure boosting facility. The scope includes the construction and installation of an offshore jacket and topside, as well as associated brownfield modifications. Upon completion, the topside is expected to be one of the heaviest offshore modules installed in the Middle East.

Project management and engineering will be directed from McDermott’s offices in the United Arab Emirates, while fabrication is scheduled to take place at the joint venture yard in Qingdao, China.
