McDermott has been awarded a *large offshore subsea contract by PTTEP Sabah Oil Limited (PTTEP) for the Block H gas field expansion project. The project is located offshore Sabah, in East Malaysia covering the Alum, Bemban and Permai deepwater fields.
Under the contract, McDermott will deliver EPCI services for a carbon steel pipeline. The company will also provide transportation and installation of key subsea umbilicals, in addition to risers and flowlines (SURF) components.
The infrastructure is part of a broader system designed to support the delivery of additional feed gas to the Petronas Floating Liquefied Natural Gas Dua facility, which has been producing from Block H’s Rotan and Buluh fields since 2021.
Engineering and project management will be directed from McDermott’s Subsea and Floating Facilities team in Kuala Lumpur. Offshore installation will be executed by its marine construction fleet.
The Block H development is a cornerstone of Malaysia’s deepwater gas strategy. Expansion is expected to increase domestic gas supply, support long-term energy security and economic growth.
*McDermott defines a large contract as between USD $50 million and USD $250 million.
