August 13, 2024 [Storage Terminals]- McDermott has been awarded a comprehensive engineering, procurement, construction, installation, hook-up, and commissioning contract by Shell Trinidad and Tobago Limited for the development of the Manatee gas field. Located 60 miles (100 kilometres) off the southeast coast of Trinidad and Tobago, the project represents a significant step forward in the region’s energy infrastructure.
The contract award follows McDermott’s successful delivery of front-end engineering design, detailed engineering, and long-lead procurement services for the project’s initial phases. These earlier achievements laid the groundwork for the current phase of execution, which will involve the design, procurement, fabrication, hook-up, and commissioning of an offshore platform and jacket.
Additionally, McDermott will provide design, installation, and commissioning services for a 32-inch gas pipeline that will connect the platform to a gas processing facility operated by Shell. The project scope also includes the design, procurement, installation, and testing of a fibre optic cable to support the infrastructure.
Mahesh Swaminathan, McDermott’s senior vice president of subsea and floating facilities, commented on the award, stating, “This award leverages our unique, integrated EPCI capabilities and legacy of engineering excellence and innovation to successfully deliver large offshore platforms and complex subsea infrastructure worldwide. The Manatee project builds on our track record of successful project execution for Shell and exemplifies our commitment to building energy infrastructure required to meet demand.”
This contract award highlights McDermott’s ongoing commitment to supporting Trinidad and Tobago’s energy sector by contributing to the future supply of gas to both domestic and export markets. The project further strengthens McDermott’s partnership with Shell and its role in the development of critical energy infrastructure in the region.
