The VA & S1 fields are located in water depths of 250 to 700 meters and about 35km off the Amalapuram coast in the KG Basin, off the East Coast of India.
Under the contract, the consortium will supply and install a series of pipeline end terminations (PLETs) and in-line tee structures (ILT), a pipeline end manifold structure (PLEM), rigid jumpers and approximately 30 miles of umbilicals.
The 64 miles of 14-inch dual rigid pipelines which will extend from the shallow water shore line to a maximum water depth of 2,300ft.
McDermott president and CEO David Dickson said: "The combination of our best in class, deepwater, shallow water and onshore assets and capabilities created a compelling value proposition and also maximized the amount of work that will be undertaken in India."
For the contract work, McDermott plans to utilize modular, portable spoolbase, Derrick Barge 30 (DB30) and deepwater North Ocean 105 (NO105).
McDermott Asia vice-president Hugh Cuthbertson said: "This collaborative consortium created value by utilizing LTHE’s strong execution capabilities and strategically located Kattupalli facility for fabrication, setting up a local spoolbase, and generating schedule efficiency by using a combination of deepwater reel-lay and S-lay in shallow water.
LTHE is a unit of Indian conglomerate Larsen & Toubro.
In 2014, ONGC selected Technip to build onshore terminal facilities for the fields.
