India's Reliance Industries has awarded McDermott International a significant contract for the KGD6 subsea field development in the Krishna Godavari basin offshore eastern India.
Worth between US$250 million and US$500 million, the contract is for engineering, procurement, installation and pre-commissioning of subsea flowlines, vent lines, and a pipeline-end manifold for connection with six subsea wells in the R-Cluster field in water depths of up to 2,100 metres.
Its scope includes in-field pipelines, a monoethylene glycol line, pipeline-end terminals, jumpers, risers, the umbilicals system, and modification of the control riser platform to interface with the new facilities.
Reliance has an option to extend the program to five to seven more subsea wells for the Satellite-Cluster (S-Cluster), with two additional subsea structures and flowlines in water depths of 1,400 metres to 1,800 metres.
McDermott's Engineering Centre in Chennai will provide engineering and project management oversight, supported by the Kuala Lumpur branch and vessels from its global fleet.
Work on the base scope should be completed by the second quarter of 2020, and the optional scope in the first quarter of 2021.
Reliance is developing the deepwater R-Cluster and Satellite-Cluster gas and oil fields in the KG-D6 block, the northwestern boundary of which is about 60 kilometres southeast of Kakinada in water depths between 400 metres and 2,300 metres.
