The deal forms part of the existing Long Term Agreement and includes the procurement, transportation, installation, hookup and testing of seven composite cables and corresponding anode sleds.
Commenting on the new project, McDermott Middle East, Caspian and North Sea senior vice president and general manager Stewart Mitchell said, "I believe our understanding of Saudi Aramco’s requirements from previous experience, combined with the proven cable laying abilities of the North Ocean 102, will help to ensure the safe and timely delivery of this project."
The company’s engineering office in Al-Khobar will undertake design and installation engineering and procurement, while the fabrication work will be undertaken by the Jebel Ali facility and cable installation by North Ocean 102.
A 15kV composite cable covering 26.9km will be installed in six segments in the Safaniya, Abu Safa and Marjan fields and a 35 kV composite cable covering 28.4km will be installed in one segment in the Marjan field, the company said.
