A subsidiary of McDermott International, Inc. has been awarded a turnkey contract for the PB-Litoral-A production platform for PEMEX Exploracion y Produccion in the Litoral Tabasco Tsimin-Xux fields. The value is approximately US$230 million.
“This project reaffirms our Altamira, Mexico fabrication facility as a key player for both domestic and international offshore construction projects,” said Vice President and General Manager, Atlantic region, Steven W. Roll. “Our investments in Altamira are beginning to show dividends as we continue to grow the facility and supporting resources in this strategic location.”
McDermott’s global resources will support turnkey engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) solutions for the PB-Litoral-A production platform. McDermott’s advanced float-over technology for heavy topsides is a reliable and cost-effective method for topside installation.
The PB-Litoral-A project scope includes front end engineering design, detailed engineering, procurement, fabrication, load-out, sea fastening, transport, installation, hook-up, commissioning and start-up of an eight-legged 1,800-ton jacket, 4,500-ton topsides and 2,000 tons of tripods, bridges and piles. The total weight of the facility is approximately 8,300 tons.
Engineering work is expected to begin in early 2013 by McDermott’s Houston and Chennai engineering offices, with fabrication at Altamira, Mexico, where at peak, more than 550 craft personnel are expected to be engaged on the project.

McDermott will carry out installation of the topsides by the float-over method using its Intermac 600 float-over barge, and the recently upgraded and improved McDermott Derrick Barge 50 will install key platform components and provide additional support.
In addition to the PB-Litoral-A scope, McDermott will undertake bridge and piping tie in, as well brownfield work on the CA-Litoral-A HP compression platform.
Full project completion is expected during for 2015.
