“The timing of delivery for this fast-track project is critical,” said Hugh Cuthbertson, Vice President and General Manager, Asia Pacific. “We have already commenced fabrication activities as the jacket must be completed for installation before the start of the monsoon season.”

McDermott will fabricate the four-leg 1100 t wellhead jacket, from the Batam Island fabrication facility in Indonesia. The project is expected to be complete by mid November 2014.
