HOUSTON, Oct. 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- McDermott
International, Inc. (NYSE: MDR) today announced substantial
completion of PEMEX Exploracion y Produccion's Abkatun-A2 Platform.
The production platform is located in Mexico's Bay of
Campeche in the Gulf of
Mexico. This milestone means the platform has now been
turned over to the owner to begin commercial operations.
"With substantial completion of the Abkatun-A2 Platform project
successfully achieved, PEMEX is ready to begin commercial
operations," said Mark Coscio,
McDermott's Senior Vice President for North, Central and
South America. "The project
demonstrates our ability to deliver a vertically integrated,
turnkey EPCI solution to build and commission platforms and
associated structures utilizing our project management, engineering
and fabrication teams in Mexico."
The Abkatun-A2 Platform is McDermott's largest project in size
and total value to date for PEMEX. The platform will provide
replacement and expansion capabilities to the existing
Ku-Maloob-Zaap, Cantarell and Ayatsil facilities. McDermott
performed fabrication for the Abkatun-A2 project at its
Altamira, Mexico fabrication
facility and used its Derrick Barge
50 and Intermac 650 vessels to transport and install the platform.
The Altamira yard is strategically
positioned as a free trade zone and provides fabrication services
for the Gulf of Mexico and
Americas. The yard is known for its high-quality craftsmanship and
exemplary safety standards.
