The company’s Morgan City fabrication facility will handle construction, assembly, testing, coating, load out and tie down of a four-pile jacket for a bottom-founded platform named EI 338 ‘K’.
The jacket is designed to accommodate 20 well slots and once complete, the platform will have full processing capabilities, supporting a self-contained drilling rig.
The jacket and piles are expected to weigh approximately 3,600 tons, and the platform will have the capacity to produce 20mmscfd, 7500bopd, and 12,500bwpd.
First steel for the EI 338 ‘K’ jacket is expected to be cut during the third quarter of 2011. McDermott‘s offshore installation work will generally consist of installing the EI-338 ‘K’ jacket and piles, relocating refurbished topsides to EI-338 ‘K’, installing a platform drilling rig onto the EI-338 ‘K’ structure, and removing and reefing a platform jacket.
